+
+You can configure common dependencies using a top-level `dependencies {}` block. Dependencies declared here behave as if
+they were added to the `commonMain` or `commonTest` source sets.
+
+To use the top-level `dependencies {}` block, opt in by adding the `@OptIn(ExperimentalKotlinGradlePluginApi::class)`
+annotation before the block:

+<tabs group="build-script">
