 `override` scope allows you to override the root scope's behavior for those
 CloudTruth projects whose names match its `project_selector` pattern.
 
-For the `project_selector`, which is defined under the *Usage* section, you can either use a regex (i.e - `"^k8s-"`) which matches any CloudTruth project that starts with `k8s-`, or a specific CloudTruth project name. For example, if you have a CloudTruth project called `kubernetes_secrets`, you'll want the `project_selector` value to be `"kubernetes_secrets"`.
+For the `project_selector`, which is defined under the *Usage* section, you use a regex to match against CloudTruth project names, e.g. `"^service"` will match any project that starts with `service`.  Since this does substring matching, if you want to match a specific CloudTruth project name you should use regex anchors to ensure you don't match more than expected.  For example, if you have a CloudTruth project called `kubernetes_secrets`, you'll want the `project_selector` value to be `"^kubernetes_secrets$"` so you don't accidentally match another project named `not_kubernetes_secrets`.
 
 Note that Kubetruth watches for changes to ProjectMappings, so touching any of
 them wakes it up from a polling sleep.  This makes it quick and easy to test out
