+Under the root path of the project, you can find a file called `.env`. This file shows all the environment variables that the project uses. You should review it and set the values for the variables you want to change.
 
 If you don’t set `DJANGO_TOKEN_SIGNING_KEY` or `DJANGO_TOKEN_VERIFYING_KEY`, the API will generate them at `~/.config/prowler-api/` with `0600` and `0644` permissions; back up these files to persist identity across redeploys.
 
+**Important note**: Every Prowler version (or repository branches and tags) could have different variables set in its `.env` file. Please use the `.env` file that corresponds with each version.

 ## Local deployment
 Keep in mind if you export the `.env` file to use it with local deployment that you will have to do it within the context of the Poetry interpreter, not before. Otherwise, variables will not be loaded properly.
