-## Overview
-
-Griptape exposes global configuration options to easily customize different parts of the framework.
-
-### Driver Configs
-
-The [DriverConfig](../../reference/griptape/config/drivers/driver_config.md) class allows for the customization of Structures within Griptape, enabling specific settings such as Drivers to be defined for Tasks. 
-
-Griptape provides predefined [DriverConfig](../../reference/griptape/config/drivers/driver_config.md)'s for widely used services that provide APIs for most Driver types Griptape offers.
-
-#### OpenAI
-
-The [OpenAI Driver config](../../reference/griptape/config/drivers/openai_driver_config.md) provides default Drivers for OpenAI's APIs. This is the default config for all Structures.
-
-```python
---8<-- "docs/griptape-framework/structures/src/config_1.py"
-```
-
-#### Azure OpenAI
-
-The [Azure OpenAI Driver config](../../reference/griptape/config/drivers/azure_openai_driver_config.md) provides default Drivers for Azure's OpenAI APIs.
-
-```python
---8<-- "docs/griptape-framework/structures/src/config_2.py"
-```
-
-#### Amazon Bedrock
-The [Amazon Bedrock Driver config](../../reference/griptape/config/drivers/amazon_bedrock_driver_config.md) provides default Drivers for Amazon Bedrock's APIs.
-
-```python
---8<-- "docs/griptape-framework/structures/src/config_3.py"
-```
-
-#### Google
-The [Google Driver config](../../reference/griptape/config/drivers/google_driver_config.md) provides default Drivers for Google's Gemini APIs.
-
-```python
---8<-- "docs/griptape-framework/structures/src/config_4.py"
-```
-
-#### Anthropic
-
-The [Anthropic Driver config](../../reference/griptape/config/drivers/anthropic_driver_config.md) provides default Drivers for Anthropic's APIs.
-
-!!! info
-    Anthropic does not provide an embeddings API which means you will need to use another service for embeddings.
-    The `AnthropicDriverConfig` defaults to using `VoyageAiEmbeddingDriver` which integrates with [VoyageAI](https://www.voyageai.com/), the service used in Anthropic's [embeddings documentation](https://docs.anthropic.com/claude/docs/embeddings).
-    To override the default embedding driver, see: [Override Default Structure Embedding Driver](../drivers/embedding-drivers.md#override-default-structure-embedding-driver).
-
-```python
---8<-- "docs/griptape-framework/structures/src/config_5.py"
-```
-
-#### Cohere
-
-The [Cohere Driver config](../../reference/griptape/config/drivers/cohere_driver_config.md) provides default Drivers for Cohere's APIs.
-
-```python
---8<-- "docs/griptape-framework/structures/src/config_6.py"
-```
-
-#### Custom
-
-You can create your own [DriverConfig](../../reference/griptape/config/drivers/driver_config.md) by overriding relevant Drivers.
-The [DriverConfig](../../reference/griptape/config/drivers/driver_config.md) class includes "Dummy" Drivers for all types, which throw a [DummyError](../../reference/griptape/exceptions/dummy_exception.md) if invoked without being overridden. 
-This approach ensures that you are informed through clear error messages if you attempt to use Structures without proper Driver configurations.
-
-```python
---8<-- "docs/griptape-framework/structures/src/config_7.py"
-```
-
-### Logging Config
-
-Griptape provides a predefined [LoggingConfig](../../reference/griptape/config/logging/logging_config.md)'s for easily customizing the logging events that the framework emits. In order to customize the logger, the logger can be fetched by using the `config.logging.logger_name`.
-
-```python
---8<-- "docs/griptape-framework/structures/src/config_logging.py"
-```
-
-### Loading/Saving Configs

+#### Custom
+
+You can create your own [DriversConfig](../../reference/griptape/configs/drivers/drivers_config.md) by overriding relevant Drivers.
+The [DriversConfig](../../reference/griptape/configs/drivers/drivers_config.md) class includes "Dummy" Drivers for all types, which throw a [DummyError](../../reference/griptape/exceptions/dummy_exception.md) if invoked without being overridden. 
+This approach ensures that you are informed through clear error messages if you attempt to use Structures without proper Driver configurations.
+
+```python
+--8<-- "docs/griptape-framework/structures/src/drivers_config_7.py"
+```
+
+### Logging Config
+
+Griptape provides a predefined [LoggingConfig](../../reference/griptape/configs/logging/logging_config.md)'s for easily customizing the logging events that the framework emits. In order to customize the logger, the logger can be fetched by using the `Defaults.logging.logger_name`.
+
+```python
+--8<-- "docs/griptape-framework/structures/src/logging_config.py"
+```
+
+### Loading/Saving Configs
+
+```python
+--8<-- "docs/griptape-framework/structures/src/drivers_config_8.py"
