+It is possible to add checks in addition to the ones defined in the Data
+Package standard. We call these additional checks *extensions*. There
+are currently two types of extensions supported: `CustomCheck` and

+to your `Config` as you want to fit your needs.

-Here's a breakdown of what each argument does:
-
--   `type`: An identifier for your custom check. This is what will show
-    up in error messages and what you will use if you want to exclude
-    your check. Each `CustomCheck` should have a unique `type`.
--   `jsonpath`: The location of the field or fields the custom check
-    applies to, expressed in [JSON
-    path](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSONPath) notation. This check
-    applies to the `name` field of all package licenses.
--   `message`: The message that is shown when the check is violated.
--   `check`: A function that expresses the custom check. It takes the
-    value at the `jsonpath` location as input and returns true if the
-    check is met, false if it isn't.
+For more details on what each parameter means, see the
+[`CustomCheck`](/docs/reference/custom_check.qmd) documentation.
+Specific to this example, the `type` is setting the identifier of the
+check to `only-mit` and the `jsonpath` is indicating to only check the
+`name` property of each license in the `licenses` property of the Data
+Package.

 We can see that the custom check was applied: `check()` returned one
 issue flagging the first license attached to the Data Package.
 
+### Required checks
+
+You can also set specific properties in the `datapackage.json` file to
+be required, even when they aren't required by the Data Package standard
+with a `RequiredCheck`. For example, if you want to make the
+`description` field of Data Package a required field, you can define a
+`RequiredCheck` like this:
+
+```{python}
+#| eval: false
+description_required = cdp.RequiredCheck(
+    jsonpath="$.description",
+    message="The 'description' field is required in the Data Package properties.",
+)
+```
+
+See the [`RequiredCheck`](/docs/reference/required_check.qmd)
+documentation for more details on its parameters.
+
+To apply this `RequiredCheck`, it should be added to the `Config` object
+passed to `check()` like shown below:
+
+```{python}
+#| eval: false
+config = cdp.Config(extensions=cdp.Extensions(required_checks=[description_required]))
