However, this automatic dumping is a fallback mechanism with many points of
failure and you cannot rely upon it.
+ \section1 Running QML Modules in Qt Quick Designer
+
+ \QMLD uses a QML emulation layer (also called QML Puppet) to render and
+ preview images and to collect data. To be able to render custom types
+ correctly from QML modules, the emulation layer must be built with the same
+ Qt version as the QML modules.
+
+ By default, the emulation layer is provided by \QC and built with the same
+ Qt version as \QC. Therefore, your QML modules will mostly not work out of
+ the box.
+
+ To use an emulation layer that is built with the Qt
+ configured in the build and run kit for the project, deselect the
+ \gui {Always use the QML emulation layer provided by Qt Creator} check box.
+ \QC builds the emulation layer when you select the \gui Design mode.
