+## Assets in Multiple Albums
+
+By default, the script only fetches assets from Immich that are not assigned to any album yet. This makes querying assets in large libraries very fast. However, if assets should be part of either manually created albums as well as albums based on the folder structure, or if multiple script passes with different album level settings should create differently named albums with overlapping contents, the option `--find-assets-in-albums` (bare Python) or environment variable `FIND_ASSETS_IN_ALBUMS` (Docker) may be set.  
+In that case, the script will request all assets from Immich and add them to their corresponding folders, even if the also are part of other albums.
+
+
 ## Dealing with External Library Changes
 
 Due to their nature, external libraries may be changed by the user without Immich having any say in it.
