 ## Generating Aliases
 
-To reduce verbosity in the resulting assembly, `AsmPrinter` can generate aliases for frequently used types and attributes.
+`AsmPrinter` can generate aliases for frequently used types and attributes when not printing them in generic form. For example, `!my_dialect.type<a=3,b=4,c=5,d=tuple,e=another_type>` and `#my_dialect.attr<a=3>` can be aliased to `!my_dialect_type` and `#my_dialect_attr`.
 
-For example, `!my_dialect.type<a=3,b=4,c=5,d=tuple,e=another_type>` and `#my_dialect.attr<a=3>` can be aliased to `!my_dialect_type` and `#my_dialect_attr`, simplifying further references.
+There are mainly two ways to hook into the `AsmPrinter`. One is the attribute/type interface and the other is the dialect interface.
 
-To enable this, the owning dialect of these types/attributes can define an interface to hook into the `AsmPrinter`. This is effective only when the assembly is not printed in generic form.
+The attribute/type interface is the first hook to check. If no such hook is found, or the hook returns `OverridableAlias` (see definition below), then dialect interfaces are involved.
+
+The dialect interface for one specific dialect could generate alias for all types/attributes, even when it does not "own" them. The `AsmPrinter` checks all dialect interfaces based on their order of registration. For example, the default alias `map` for `builtin` attribute `AffineMapAttr` could be overriden by the dialect interface for `my_dialect` as custom dialect is often registered after the `builtin` dialect.
 
 ```cpp
-// OpAsmDialectInterface is defined in

+  OverridableAlias,
+  /// An alias was provided and it should be used
+  /// (no other hooks will be checked).
+  FinalAlias
+};
+```
+
+If multiple types/attributes have the same alias from `getAlias` hooks, a number is appended to the alias to avoid conflicts.

-* If `getAlias` provides an alias with a trailing digit, `AsmPrinter` appends an underscore to avoid conflicts with autogenerated IDs.
-* If multiple types/attributes have the same alias from `getAlias`, a number is appended to the alias to avoid conflicts.
+### `OpAsmAttrInterface` and `OpAsmTypeInterface`
+
+The easiest way to use these interfaces is toggling `genMnemonicAlias` in the tablegen file of the attribute/alias. It directly uses the mnemonic as alias. See [Defining Dialect Attributes and Types](/docs/DefiningDialects/AttributesAndTypes) for details.
+
+If a more custom behavior is wanted, the following modification to the attribute/type should be made
+
+1. Add `OpAsmAttrInterface` or `OpAsmTypeInterface` into its trait list.
+2. Implement the `getAlias` method, either in tablegen or its cpp file.
+
+```tablegen
+include "mlir/IR/OpAsmInterface.td"
+
+// Add OpAsmAttrInterface trait
+def MyAttr : MyDialect_Attr<"MyAttr",
+         [ OpAsmAttrInterface ] > {

 the operation can suggest a custom prefix instead of a generic `^bb0`.
 
+Alternatively, `OpAsmTypeInterface` provides a `getAsmName` method for scenarios where the name could be inferred from its type.

 ## Defining Default Dialect
 
 An `Operation` can indicate that the nested region in it has a default dialect prefix, and the operations in the region could elide the dialect prefix.
