 You can reference properties in other YAML or JSON files. To reference properties in other YAML files use the `${file(./myFile.yml):someProperty}` syntax in your `serverless.yml` configuration file.
 
-Files need to be referenced by relative paths, which should not reach out beyond project directory (by default service directory). If you work with multi-service project, you can change project directory boundary with `projectDir` setting (e.g. set `projectDir: ../` if you're service is nested in top level _service-x_ directory)
-
 To reference properties in other JSON files use the `${file(./myFile.json):someProperty}` syntax. It is important that the file you are referencing has the correct suffix, or file extension, for its file type (`.yml` for YAML or `.json` for JSON) in order for it to be interpreted correctly.
 
 Here's an example:
