-Jekyll themes set default layouts, includes, stylesheets and static assets, that can be overridden by your site's content. For example, if your selected theme has a `page` layout, you can override the theme's layout by creating your own `page` layout in the `_layouts` folder (e.g., `_layouts/page.html`).

 Jekyll will look first to your site's content, before looking to the theme's defaults, for any requested file in the following folders:
 
 * `/_layouts`
 * `/_includes`
 * `/_sass`
-* `/assets/`
 
 Refer to your selected theme's documentation and source repository for more information on what files you can override.

 Your theme's stylesheets should be placed in your theme's `/_sass` folder, again, just as you would when authoring a Jekyll site. Your theme's styles can be included in the user's stylesheet using the `@import` directive.
 
-You may also need to output the rendered styles, by adding an `/assets/style.scss` file, which imports the necessary stylesheets, by following the instructions in the [static assets](#static-assets) section below.
-
-Do not place your theme's styles in the `/assets/style.scss` file. Storing styles in the `/_sass` folder allows users to use SaSS's `@import` directive, to combine their custom styles, with the theme's in a single file.

-### Static assets
-
-You may also bundle static assets within your theme (e.g., javascripts, images, and fonts). Place any files you'd like in your theme's `/assets` folder, which will be included in the published site. It's common to group files into folders, such as `/assets/js`, `/assets/img`, and `/assets/fonts`.
-
 ### Documenting your theme
 
 Your theme should include a `/README.md` file, which explains how site authors can install and use your theme. What layouts are included? What includes? Do they need to add anything special to their site's configuration file?
