 ### Github Access Token
 
-For performing Git operations on Github and for creating GISTs, it is may be necessary to input an access token - a token that has the specific permissions for your git command. Depending on the operation, you may need to also input your Github username & email address.  Remix does not save your password info outside of your browser's localstorage.

+### Etherscan Access Token
+
+You need to input your Etherscan access token when debugging verified contracts with the Remix Debugger.  When verifying a contract with the Etherscan plugin, you need to put the API key in that plugin and not in the Settings panel.   
+
+Click [here](https://etherscan.io/myapikey) to get your Etherscan API key.

+### Swarm Settings
+
+In the Solidity Compiler, after the compilation is completed, there is a button to publish to Swarm.

+
+Without putting in an address & postage stamp, you'll be using the public gateway, which may not persist you content as surely as if you put in your own info.

+
+### IPFS Settings
+
+Just like the Swarm settings above, IPFS settings are for publishing your contracts to IPFS from the Solidity Compiler. 
+- If you do not put in any settings here, you will be using the public INFURA node. This will not guarantee your data will persist.
+
+Other options are to:
+- Use your own INFURA IPFS node. This requires a subscription. [Learn more](https://infura.io/product/ipfs)
+- Use any external IPFS which doesn’t require any authentification.
+- Use your own local ipfs node (which usually runs under http://localhost:5001)
