+Once you have a valid `stories.json` file, your Storybook will be compatible with the "stories.json mode".

+By default, the test runner will detect whether your Storybook URL is local or remote, and if it is remote, it will run in "stories.json mode" automatically. To disable it, you can pass the `--no-stories-json` flag:

+```bash
+yarn test-storybook --no-stories-json

+If you are running tests against a local Storybook but for some reason want to run in "stories.json mode", you can pass the `--stories-json` flag:
 
 ```bash
-TARGET_URL=https://the-storybook-url-here.com yarn test-storybook --stories-json

 > **NOTE:** stories.json mode is not compatible with watch mode.
