-  This example demonstrates how allocates and handles the custom
-  configuration for the Sketch.
-  When Sketch stores the own configuration data in the EEPROM, it must
-  avoid conflict with the credentials stored by AutoConnect.
-  AutoConnectConfig::boundaryOffset designation helps with the conflict,
-  but it is inadequate. Sketch uses AutoConnect::getCredentialSize to
-  get the size of the actual EEPROM area that should be handled for the
-  own custom data I/O.  
+  The AutoConnectConfig::boundaryOffset setting allows AutoConnect to
+  write its data to EEPROM while preserving custom configuration data.
+  Similarly, when a Sketch writes its own data to EEPROM, it must
+  preserve the data written by AutoConnect.
+  This example demonstrates how to use the getEEPROMUsedSize() method to
+  store custom configuration settings in EEPROM without conflicting with
+  AutoConnect's use of that storage. (Note: this applies to the ESP8266
+  only, not the ESP32.)
