+If the `netlify.toml` file or the `build.publish` value is missing, a default value of `"build"` will be used. Note that if you have set the publish directory in the Netlify UI to something else then you will need to set it in `netlify.toml` too, or use the default value of `"build"`.

 ## Netlify alternatives to SvelteKit functionality
 
 You may build your app using functionality provided directly by SvelteKit without relying on any Netlify functionality. Using the SvelteKit versions of these features will allow them to be used in dev mode, tested with integration tests, and to work with other adapters should you ever decide to switch away from Netlify. However, in some scenarios you may find it beneficial to use the Netlify versions of these features. One example would be if you're migrating an app that's already hosted on Netlify to SvelteKit.

 2. Netlify's build bot parses your HTML files at deploy time, which means your form must be [prerendered](https://kit.svelte.dev/docs#ssr-and-javascript-prerender) as HTML. You can either add `export const prerender = true` to your `contact.svelte` to prerender just that page or set the `kit.prerender.force: true` option to prerender all pages.
 3. If your Netlify form has a [custom success message](https://docs.netlify.com/forms/setup/#success-messages) like `<form netlify ... action="/success">` then ensure the corresponding `/routes/success.svelte` exists and is prerendered.
 
+### Using Netlify Functions
+
+[Netlify Functions](https://docs.netlify.com/functions/overview/) can be used alongside your SvelteKit routes. If you would like to add them to your site, you should create a directory for them and add the configuration to your `netlify.toml` file. For example:
+
+```toml
+[build]
+  command = "npm run build"
+  publish = "build"
+
+[functions]
+  directory = "functions"
+  node_bundler = "esbuild"
