 ### Visual Studio Code Development
 
-In addition to creating and building your Matter project within Simplicity Studio, Silicon Labs also provides Visual Studio Code (VSCode) IDE integration. 
+Once a Matter project is created and any components or ZCL clusters modified in Simplicity Studio, Silicon Labs provides a Visual Studio Code (VS Code) IDE extension where code changes can be made. Simplicity Studio 6 (SSv6) does not provide an IDE; instead, VS Code is used. Projects can be built, flashed and debugged directly from VS Code.
