 When importing SEG-Y data, MDIO maps trace header fields to dataset dimensions. However, real-world seismic data often has complexities that require additional processing. Grid overrides address these issues by transforming header values before indexing.
 
+## Configuring grid overrides
+
+Grid overrides are passed to {func}`mdio.segy_to_mdio` via the `grid_overrides` argument as an
+{class}`mdio.GridOverrides` instance:
+
+```python
+from mdio import GridOverrides
+from mdio import segy_to_mdio
+
+segy_to_mdio(
+    ...,
+    grid_overrides=GridOverrides(calculate_shot_index=True),
+)
+```
+
+Both modern `snake_case` field names and the legacy `CamelCase` aliases are accepted, so
+`GridOverrides(CalculateShotIndex=True)` is equivalent to the example above. Unknown keys
+are rejected at construction with a `pydantic.ValidationError`.
+
+```{deprecated} 1.2
+Passing `grid_overrides` as a `dict` still works but logs a deprecation warning and will be
+removed in a future release. Switch to `mdio.GridOverrides`.
