+
+An undo-type generates the data of an undo-action for a specific event and has an undo and redo method which know 
+how to undo and redo the action. With the `addUndoType()` method you can add or overwrite one or more of these undo-types.
+To understand how this works you have to know the structure of an undo-type:
+
+*   `type` is the name of the event the undo-type is made for. For example `"add"`, `"change"` or `"reset"`.
+*   `on` is the function that generates the data necessary to undo or redo the action. It returns an object with the keys 
+    `"object"`, `"before"` and `"after"`
+*   `undo` is the function which executes the actual undoing. It gets `object`, `before` and `after` the values `on` had
+    returned as arguments as well as a copy of the whole object `on` returned in case it needs more data.
+*   `redo` is the function which executes the actual redoing. As `undo` it gets `object`, `before`, `after` and a copy of
+    the object `on` returned as arguments.
+    
+An example. If we want to add the undo-type `"reset"` (which is already built-in) we can do the following:
+
+    Backbone.Undo.addUndoType("reset", {
+        "undo": function (collection, before, after) {
+            collection.reset(before);
+        },
+        "redo": function (collection, before, after) {
+    		collection.reset(after);
+		},
+        "on": function (collection, options) {
+            // The "on" method gets the arguments the type (here: "reset") 
+            // would get if it was bound to the object
+            return {
+                object: collection,
+                before: options.previousModels,
+                after: _.clone(collection.models) // We use a copy of the current state instead of storing a reference
+            }
+        }
+    })
+
+## Problems that may occur
 
 Backbone.Undo.js is not made to be called within your code. It has an internal mechanism which figures out 
 which Undo-Actions were generated in the same call cycle.
