-By default, this will lock all dependencies to the latest available compatible versions. To only refresh the lock file, use the `--no-update` option.
+By default, packages that have already been added to the lock file before will not be updated.
+To update all dependencies to the latest available compatible versions, use `poetry update --lock`
+or `poetry --new`, which normally produce the same result.
 This command is also available as a pre-commit hook. See [pre-commit hooks]({{< relref "pre-commit-hooks#poetry-lock">}}) for more information.
