 ### When to use a changeset?
 
-Any time a patch, minor, or major change aligning to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org) is made to any published package in `packages/` or `plugins/`, a changeset should be used. It helps to align your change to the [Backstage stability index](https://backstage.io/docs/overview/stability-index) for the package you are changing.
+Any time a patch, minor, or major change aligning to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org) is made to any published package in `packages/` or `plugins/`, a changeset should be used. It helps to align your change to the [Backstage stability index](https://backstage.io/docs/overview/stability-index) for the package you are changing, for example, when to provide additional clarity on deprecation or impacting changes which will then be included into CHANGELOGs.
 
 In general, changesets are not needed for the documentation, build utilities, contributed or the [example packages/app](packages/app).
