 The Matter library is built on top of `ESP Matter SDK <https://github.com/espressif/esp-matter>`_ and provides a high-level Arduino-style interface for creating Matter devices.
 
+Building and Flashing Matter Examples
+--------------------------------------
+
+Before uploading any Matter example sketch, it is necessary to configure the Arduino IDE with the following settings:
+
+1. **Partition Scheme**: Select **"Huge APP (3MB No OTA/1MB SPIFFS)"** from **Tools > Partition Scheme** menu.
+
+  .. figure:: ../../_static/matter_partition_scheme.png
+      :align: center
+      :alt: "Partition Scheme: Huge APP (3MB No OTA/1MB SPIFFS)" Arduino IDE menu option
+      :figclass: align-center
+
+2. **Erase Flash**: Enable **"Erase All Flash Before Sketch Upload"** option from **Tools** menu.
+
+  .. figure:: ../../_static/matter_erase_flash.png
+      :align: center
+      :alt: "Erase All Flash Before Sketch Upload: Enabled" Arduino IDE menu option
+      :figclass: align-center
+
+These settings are required for the following reasons:
+
+* **Partition Scheme**: Matter firmware requires a large application partition (3MB) to accommodate the Matter stack and application code.
+* **Erase Flash**: Erasing flash is necessary to remove any leftover WiFi or Matter configuration from the NVS (Non-Volatile Storage) partition. Without erasing, previous network credentials, Matter fabric information, or device commissioning data may interfere with the new firmware, causing commissioning failures or connectivity issues.
