 ### Passing slots as props
 
-The `register()` function also accepts an optional fourth parameter, an options bag. At present, it allows you to opt-in to using shadow DOM for your custom element by setting the `shadow` property to `true`, and if so, you can also specify the encapsulation mode with `mode`, which can be either `'open'` or `'closed'`.

Additionally, you may mark the shadow root as being serializable with the boolean `serializable` property.
 
 When using shadow DOM, you can make use of named `<slot>` elements in your component to forward the custom element's children into specific places in the shadow tree.
