+Prefixing Keys in the Orchestrator
+----------------------------------
+
+If each of multiple ensemble members attempt to use the same code to access their respective models
+in the Orchestrator, the keys by which they do this will overlap and they can end up accessing each
+others' data inadvertently. To prevent this situation, the SmartSim Entity object supports key
+prefixing, which automatically prepends the name of the model to the keys by which it is accessed.
+With this enabled, key overlapping is no longer an issue and ensemble members can use the same code.
+
+Under the hood, calling ensemble.enable_key_prefixing() causes the SSKEYOUT environment variable to
+be set, which in turn causes all keys generated by an ensemble member to be prefixed with its model
+name. Similarly, if the model for the ensemble member has incoming entities (such as those set via
+model.register_incoming_entity() or ensemble.register_incoming_entity()), the SSKEYIN environment
+variable will be set and the keys associated with those inputs will be automatically prefixed. Note
+that entities must register themselves as this is not done by default.
+
+Finally, please note that while prefixing is enabled by default for tensors, datasets, and aggregated
+lists of datasets, a SmartRedis client must manually call Client.use_model_ensemble_prefix() to
+ensure that prefixes are used with models and scripts.
+
+We modify the example above to enable key prefixing as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  import numpy as np
+  from smartsim import Experiment
+
+  exp = Experiment("Training-Run", launcher="slurm")
+
+  # setup ensemble parameter space
+  learning_rate = list(np.linspace(.01, .5))
+  train_params = {"LR": learning_rate}
+
+  # define resources for all ensemble members
+  sbatch = exp.create_batch_settings(nodes=4,
+                                    time="01:00:00",
+                                    account="12345-Cray",
+                                    queue="gpu")
+
+  # define how each member should run
+  srun = exp.create_run_settings(exe="python",
+                                exe_args="./train-model.py")
+  srun.set_nodes(1)
+  srun.set_tasks(24)
+
+  ensemble = exp.create_ensemble("Training-Ensemble",
+                                params=train_params,
+                                params_as_args=["LR"],
+                                batch_settings=sbatch,
+                                run_settings=srun,
+                                perm_strategy="random",
+                                n_models=4)
+
+  # Enable key prefixing -- note that this should be done
+  # before starting the experiment
+  ensemble.enable_key_prefixing()
+
+  exp.start(ensemble, summary=True)
