 If your application implements its own factory discovery using `Factory::guessFactoryNamesUsing()`, you should set `ddd.autoload.factories` to `false` to ensure it is not overridden.
 
+### Ignoring Folders During Autoloading
+To specify folders that should be skipped during autoloading discovery, add them to the `ddd.autoload_ignore` configuration option. By default, the `Tests` and `Migrations` folders are ignored.
+```php
+'autoload_ignore' => [
+    'Tests',
+    'Migrations',
+],
+```
+
+Folders specified here are relative to the root of each domain. e.g., src/Domain/Invoicing/<folder-to-ignore>. If more advanced filtering is needed, a callback can be registered using the `DDD::filterAutoloadPathsUsing(callback $filter)` in your AppServiceProvider's boot method:
+```php
+use Lunarstorm\LaravelDDD\Facades\DDD;
+use Symfony\Component\Finder\SplFileInfo;
+
+DDD::filterAutoloadPathsUsing(function (SplFileInfo $file) {
+    if (basename($file->getRelativePathname()) === 'functions.php') {
+        return false;
+    }
+});
+```

 ### Disabling Autoloading
 You may disable autoloading by setting the respective autoload options to `false` in the configuration file as needed, or by commenting out the autoload configuration entirely.

 ## Autoloading in Production
 In production, you should cache the autoload manifests using the `ddd:cache` command as part of your application's deployment process. This will speed up the auto-discovery and registration of domain providers and commands. The `ddd:clear` command may be used to clear the cache if needed.
