+If using the `injectModalsContainer` flag, the first mounted Vue instance without parents will be treated as the application root. This is only important to keep in mind if more than one root Vue instance is being used, which is unlikely. But if that's the case, the root to use can be indicated with the `root` parameter when invoking dynamic modals or modifying this plugin's `rootInstance` attribute:
+
+```javascript
+import App from './App.vue'
+import VModal from 'vue-js-modal'
+
+const app1 = new Vue({
+  el: '#app-1',
+  render: h => h(App)
+})
+
+const app2 = new Vue({
+  el: '#app-2',
+  render: h => h(App)
+})
+
+VModal.rootInstance = app2
+```
+
 For more examples please take a look at [vue-js-modal.yev.io](http://vue-js-modal.yev.io).
 
 **Note:** keep in mind that there are some limitations for using dynamic modals. If you need full functionality then use ordinary modal instead.
