-## Style issues
-
-By default, Shiny includes CSS from bootstrap in all apps.
-The bootstrap styles (font sizes in particular) can interfere with the styles for the Vitessce widget.
+## Bidirectional communication example
 
-One solution is add CSS to reset the font sizes for the root element of the Shiny app:
+Listen for `input$vitessce_on_config_change` events emitted by the Vitessce widget in order to observe user interactions and update the Shiny app in response.
