 This output tells us that when `fossa analyze` is run, we will be analyzing `cabal`, `cocoapods`, `pipenv`, and `yarn` projects. This can be useful to determine if there are targets you expect or don't expect to see.
 
+A project that is divided into named build targets, such as a yarn, npm, or pnpm workspace, is listed once per target in the form `type@path:target`:
+
+```bash
+$ fossa list-targets
+[ INFO] Found target: yarn@./:my-monorepo
+[ INFO] Found target: yarn@./:app
+[ INFO] Found target: yarn@./:lib-core
+```
+
+Each of those can be selected on its own with `fossa analyze --only-target 'yarn@./:app'`, or with a `target:` field on a `targets.only` entry in `.fossa.yml` (`targets.exclude` leaves it out instead); see [analysis target configuration](../files/fossa-yml.md#analysis-target-configuration).

 #### Command output formats
 
 The list-targets command supports the following formats (via `fossa list-targets --format=<OPTION>`):
