 ### Serving Synapse-Admin on a different path
 
-We do not support directly changing the path where Synapse-Admin is served. Instead please use a reverse proxy if you need to move Synapse-Admin to a different base path. If you want to serve multiple applications with different paths on the same domain, you need a reverse proxy anyway.
+The path prefix where synapse-admin is served can only be changed during the build step.
+
+If you downloaded the source code, use `yarn build --base=/my-prefix` to set a path prefix.
+
+If you want to build your own Docker container, use the `BASE_PATH` argument.
