     If there are two managers, it is important for all mgr services point to the active mgr and not the passive mgr. Therefore, Rook will
     automatically update all services (in the cluster namespace) that have a label `app=rook-ceph-mgr` with a selector pointing to the
     active mgr. This commonly applies to services for the dashboard or the prometheus metrics collector.

 ## Breaking Changes
 
-*  The mds liveness and startup probes are now configured by the filesystem CR instead of the cluster CR. To apply the mds probes, they need to be specified in the filesystem CR. See the [filesystem CR doc](Documentation/ceph-filesystem-crd.md#metadata-server-settings) for more details.

 ## Features
 
-*  Add support for custom ceph.conf for csi pods.
-Pr: https://github.com/rook/rook/pull/9567
+* The number of mgr daemons for example clusters is increased to 2 from 1, resulting in a standby mgr daemon.
+  If the active mgr goes down, Ceph will update the passive mgr to be active, and rook will update all the services
+  with the label app=rook-ceph-mgr to direct traffic to the new active mgr.
+* Add support for custom ceph.conf for csi pods. See #9567
