 #### Use specific backend converters
 
-By default, Docling will try to identify the document format to apply the appropriate conversion backend (see the list of [supported formats](#supported-formats)).
+!!! note
+
+    This section discusses directly invoking a [backend](./concepts/architecture.md),
+    i.e. using a low-level API. This should only be done when necessary. For most cases,
+    using a `DocumentConverter` (high-level API) as discussed in the sections above
+    should suffice — and is the recommended way.

+By default, Docling will try to identify the document format to apply the appropriate conversion backend (see the list of [supported formats](./supported_formats.md)).
 You can restrict the `DocumentConverter` to a set of allowed document formats, as shown in the [Multi-format conversion](./examples/run_with_formats.py) example.
 Alternatively, you can also use the specific backend that matches your document content. For instance, you can use `HTMLDocumentBackend` for HTML pages:
