 | freezeTopRow | true | Freezes the first row of the Excel worksheet |
 | autofilter | true | Sets the auto filter on the first row |
 | autowidth | true | Automatically set the column width to fit contents |
+| overwriteFile | false | Overwrite any existing output file instead of modifying in-place |
+
+## Advanced configuration
+
+Advanced settings can be provided via a top level json key named "config". Here is a table of options that can be set via this config key.
+
+| Key     | Example Value | Description               |
+|---------------|---------------|---------------------------|
+| keyOrder | "Column3,Column1,Column2"| Comma separated list of column names in the desired order |
+| overwriteFile | true | Boolean indicating whether output file should be overwritten if it already exists |
+| parentNode | "results" | Specify an alternate starting key for the spreadsheet data than just the first non-config key. Useful with json structures with multiple top-level keys |
