 ### sync_dir
 Example: `sync_dir="~/MyDirToSync"`
@@ -406,6 +408,11 @@ Example: `monitor_interval = "300"`
 
 The monitor interval is defined as the wait time 'between' sync's when running in monitor mode. By default without configuration, the monitor_interval is set to 45 seconds. Setting this value to 300 will run the sync process every 5 minutes.
 
+### min_notif_changes
+Example: `min_notif_changes = "5"`
+
+This option defines the minimum number of pending incoming changes necessary to trigger a desktop notification. This allows controlling the frequency of notifications.
+
 ### Selective sync
 Selective sync allows you to sync only specific files and directories.
 To enable selective sync create a file named `sync_list` in `~/.config/onedrive`.
