+### **Use private repository**
+
+If image version is not passed along with the image name in any of the variables above,
+Rook will add the corresponding default version to that image.
+Example: if `ROOK_CSI_CEPH_IMAGE: "quay.io/private-repo/cephcsi"` is passed,
+Rook will add internal default version and consume it as `"quay.io/private-repo/cephcsi:v3.7.2"`.
+
 ### **Use default images**
 
 If you would like Rook to use the default upstream images, then you may simply remove all
