+## Versioning
+
+The language service extension uses the `@angular/language-service` package for its backend. This
+package is loaded either from the version bundled with the extension, or from the current workspace
+project the extension is running on. Due to the behavior of TypeScript below version 3.8,
+incompatible versions of the language service may sometimes be loaded. If you are using a version of
+TypeScript below 3.8, we suggest either
+
+- Not installing `@angular/language-service` in your project (recommended; will fallback on the
+    version bundled with the extension)
+- Installing and keeping updates for the latest version of `@angular/language-service`
