 ## Webpacking/bundling alongside your project
 
+**Note for Webpack users:** If you do **_not_** want to use the Secrets SDK, but have Imperative modules imported that reference it (such as `ConvertV1Profiles` or `DefaultCredentialManager`), you must define the `@zowe/secrets-for-zowe-sdk` package in the `externals` section of your Webpack config:
+
+```json
+"externals": {
+    "@zowe/secrets-for-zowe-sdk": "commonjs @zowe/secrets-for-zowe-sdk"
+}
+```
+
+This will prevent Webpack from trying to dynamically resolve the Secrets SDK during compile time. This does not affect the majority of developers, as Webpack will omit any unused Imperative modules during the bundling phase.
+

+
 Some projects leverage a JavaScript bundler, such as Webpack or Vite, to minify and compress their Node.js packages.
 While the Secrets SDK does support Webpack, developers who want to bundle the Secrets SDK alongside their package should set up a `prebuilds` folder alongside their package root.
