-If repository A depends on repository B, `cascadinging-pr` can be

-and verify it passes when it will upgrade with the proposed change
-from repository B.
+If repository A depends on repository B, `cascadinging-pr` can be used
+by a workflow in repository B to trigger the CI on repository A and
+verify it passes when using a modified version of repository B. This
+modified version could be a pull request, a branch or a reference.
+
+In the simplest case `cascading-pr` runs a workflow in `destination-repo`
+that uses `origin-ref` and blocks until it completes.
+
+As an example, when a tag is set in Forgejo and builds a new release,
+it is concluded by a call to `cascading-pr` that runs
+[end-to-end](https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/end-to-end/) tests on
+the newly built release to verify it works as expected.
 
 When used in a workflow triggered by a PR event in `origin-repo`,
-`cascading-pr` will create, update and close a matching PR in
-another repository (`destination-repo`). When the PR is updated,
-`cascading-pr` subsequently will update the matching PR. The
