     system that you use.

-    subproject in the \uicontrol{Project Management} dialog. However, the root project
-    must specify that qmake uses the \c subdirs template to build the project.
+    \section2 CMake Projects
+
+    You can add CMakeLists.txt files to any project by using the
+    \l{https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/add_subdirectory.html}
+    {add_subdirectory} command. The files can define complete projects that
+    are included into the top-level project or any other CMake commands.
