 ### Run the documentation locally (optional)
 To run the documentation locally, follow the instructions provided in the README.
 
+### Install and run Vale
+Use the [Vale](https://vale.sh/) style linter to check spelling and enforce style guidelines.
+To install Vale, follow the instructions to install the [Vale CLI](https://vale.sh/docs/vale-cli/installation/) for your system and the [integration](https://vale.sh/docs/integrations/guide/) for your editor.
+
+The `docs-v2` repository contains `.vale.ini` files that configure InfluxData spelling and style rules used by the [Vale CLI](https://vale.sh/docs/vale-cli/installation/) and editor extensions, such as [Vale VSCode](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ChrisChinchilla.vale-vscode).
+When run (with the CLI or an editor extension) Vale searches for a `.vale.ini` file in the directory of the file being linted.
+
+To lint multiple directories with specified configuration files and generate a report, run the `.ci/vale/vale.sh` script.
+
+`docs-v2` style rules are located at `.ci/vale/styles/`.
+The easiest way to add accepted or rejected spellings is to enter your terms (or regular expression patterns) into the Vocabulary files at `.ci/vale/styles/Vocab`.
+
+To learn more about configuration and rules, see [Vale configuration](https://vale.sh/docs/topics/config).
