 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
 Optimizers and learning rate schedulers can also be made configurable. The most common case is when a model only has a
-single optimizer and optionally a single learning rate scheduler. In this case the model's
-:class:`~pytorch_lightning.core.lightning.LightningModule` could be left without implementing the
-:code:`configure_optimizers` method since it is normally always the same and just adds boilerplate. The following code
-snippet shows how to implement it:
+single optimizer and optionally a single learning rate scheduler. In this case, the model's
+:meth:`~pytorch_lightning.core.lightning.LightningModule.configure_optimizers` could be left unimplemented since it is
+normally always the same and just adds boilerplate.
 
-.. testcode::
-
-    import torch
-
-
-    class MyLightningCLI(LightningCLI):
-        def add_arguments_to_parser(self, parser):
-            parser.add_optimizer_args(torch.optim.Adam)
-            parser.add_lr_scheduler_args(torch.optim.lr_scheduler.ExponentialLR)
+The CLI works out-of-the-box with PyTorch's built-in optimizers and learning rate schedulers when
+at most one of each is used.
+Only the optimizer or scheduler name needs to be passed, optionally with its ``__init__`` arguments:
 
+.. code-block:: bash
 
-    cli = MyLightningCLI(MyModel)
+    $ python trainer.py fit --optimizer=Adam --optimizer.lr=0.01 --lr_scheduler=ExponentialLR --lr_scheduler.gamma=0.1
 
-With this the :code:`configure_optimizers` method is automatically implemented and in the config the :code:`optimizer`
-and :code:`lr_scheduler` groups would accept all of the options for the given classes, in this example :code:`Adam` and
-:code:`ExponentialLR`. Therefore, the config file would be structured like:
+A corresponding example of the config file would be:
 
 .. code-block:: yaml
 
     optimizer:
-      lr: 0.01
+      class_path: torch.optim.Adam
+      init_args:
+        lr: 0.01
     lr_scheduler:
-      gamma: 0.2
+      class_path: torch.optim.lr_scheduler.ExponentialLR
+      init_args:
+        gamma: 0.1
     model:
       ...
     trainer:
       ...
 
-And any of these arguments could be passed directly through command line. For example:
+.. note::
+
+    This short-hand notation is only supported in the shell and not inside a configuration file. The configuration file
+    generated by calling the previous command with ``--print_config`` will have the ``class_path`` notation.
+
+Furthermore, you can register your own optimizers and/or learning rate schedulers as follows:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from pytorch_lightning.utilities.cli import OPTIMIZER_REGISTRY, LR_SCHEDULER_REGISTRY
+
+
+    @OPTIMIZER_REGISTRY
+    class CustomAdam(torch.optim.Adam):
+        ...
+
+
+    @LR_SCHEDULER_REGISTRY
+    class CustomCosineAnnealingLR(torch.optim.lr_scheduler.CosineAnnealingLR):
+        ...
+
+
+    # register all `Optimizer` subclasses from the `torch.optim` package
+    # This is done automatically!
+    OPTIMIZER_REGISTRY.register_classes(torch.optim, Optimizer)
+
+    cli = LightningCLI(...)
 
 .. code-block:: bash
 
-    $ python trainer.py fit --optimizer.lr=0.01 --lr_scheduler.gamma=0.2
+    $ python trainer.py fit --optimizer=CustomAdam --optimizer.lr=0.01 --lr_scheduler=CustomCosineAnnealingLR
+
+If you need to customize the key names or link arguments together, you can choose from all available optimizers and
+learning rate schedulers by accessing the registries.
+
+.. code-block::
+
+    class MyLightningCLI(LightningCLI):
+        def add_arguments_to_parser(self, parser):
+            parser.add_optimizer_args(
+                OPTIMIZER_REGISTRY.classes,
+                nested_key="gen_optimizer",
+                link_to="model.optimizer1_init"
+            )
+            parser.add_optimizer_args(
+                OPTIMIZER_REGISTRY.classes,
+                nested_key="gen_discriminator",
+                link_to="model.optimizer2_init"
+            )
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ python trainer.py fit \
+        --gen_optimizer=Adam \
+        --gen_optimizer.lr=0.01 \
+        --gen_discriminator=AdamW \
+        --gen_discriminator.lr=0.0001
+
+You can also use pass the class path directly, for example, if the optimizer hasn't been registered to the
+``OPTIMIZER_REGISTRY``:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    $ python trainer.py fit \
+        --gen_optimizer.class_path=torch.optim.Adam \
+        --gen_optimizer.init_args.lr=0.01 \
+        --gen_discriminator.class_path=torch.optim.AdamW \
+        --gen_discriminator.init_args.lr=0.0001
 
-There is also the possibility of selecting among multiple classes by giving them as a tuple. For example:
+If you will not be changing the class, you can manually add the arguments for specific optimizers and/or
+learning rate schedulers by subclassing the CLI. This has the advantage of providing the proper help message for those
+classes. The following code snippet shows how to implement it:
 
 .. testcode::
 
     class MyLightningCLI(LightningCLI):
         def add_arguments_to_parser(self, parser):
-            parser.add_optimizer_args((torch.optim.SGD, torch.optim.Adam))
+            parser.add_optimizer_args(torch.optim.Adam)
+            parser.add_lr_scheduler_args(torch.optim.lr_scheduler.ExponentialLR)
 
-In this case in the config the :code:`optimizer` group instead of having directly init settings, it should specify
-:code:`class_path` and optionally :code:`init_args`. Sub-classes of the classes in the tuple would also be accepted.
-A corresponding example of the config file would be:
+With this, in the config the :code:`optimizer` and :code:`lr_scheduler` groups would accept all of the options for the
+given classes, in this example :code:`Adam` and :code:`ExponentialLR`.
+Therefore, the config file would be structured like:
 
 .. code-block:: yaml
 
     optimizer:
-      class_path: torch.optim.Adam
-      init_args:
-        lr: 0.01
+      lr: 0.01
+    lr_scheduler:
+      gamma: 0.2
+    model:
+      ...
+    trainer:
+      ...
 
-And the same through command line:
+Where the arguments can be passed directly through command line without specifying the class. For example:
 
 .. code-block:: bash
 
-    $ python trainer.py fit --optimizer.class_path=torch.optim.Adam --optimizer.init_args.lr=0.01
+    $ python trainer.py fit --optimizer.lr=0.01 --lr_scheduler.gamma=0.2
