 ## Usage
 
 The `AnimatedNavHost` composable offers a way to add custom transitions to composables in
-Navigation Compose.
+Navigation Compose via parameters that can be attached to either an individual `composable`
+destination, a `navigation` element, or to the `AnimatedNavHost` itself.
+
+Each lambda has an [`AnimatedContentScope<NavBackStackEntry>`](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/animation/AnimatedContentScope) receiver scope that allows you to use special transitions (such as [`slideIntoContainer`](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/animation/AnimatedContentScope#slideIntoContainer(androidx.compose.animation.AnimatedContentScope.SlideDirection,androidx.compose.animation.core.FiniteAnimationSpec,kotlin.Function1)) and [`slideOutOfContainer`](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/animation/AnimatedContentScope#slideOutOfContainer(androidx.compose.animation.AnimatedContentScope.SlideDirection,androidx.compose.animation.core.FiniteAnimationSpec,kotlin.Function1))) and gives you access to the [`initialState`](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/animation/AnimatedContentScope#initialState()) and [`targetState`](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/animation/AnimatedContentScope#targetState()) properties that let you customize what transitions are run based on what screen you are transitioning from (the `initialState`) and transitioning to (the `targetState`). 
+
+- `enterTransition` controls what [`EnterTransition`](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/animation/EnterTransition.html) is run when the `targetState` `NavBackStackEntry` is appearing on the screen.
+- `exitTransition` controls what [`ExitTransition`](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/animation/ExitTransition) is run when the `initialState` `NavBackStackEntry` is disappearing from the screen.
+- `popEnterTransition` defaults to `enterTransition`, but can be overridden to provide a separate [`EnterTransition`](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/animation/EnterTransition.html) when the `targetState` `NavBackStackEntry` is appearing on the screen due to a pop operation (i.e., `popBackStack()`).
+- `popExitTransition` defaults to `exitTransition`, but can be overridden to provide a separate [`ExitTransition`](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/animation/ExitTransition) when the `initialState` `NavBackStackEntry` is disappearing from the screen due to a pop operation (i.e., `popBackStack()`).
+
+For each transition, if a `composable` destination returns `null`, the parent `navigation` element's transition will be used, thus allowing you to set a global set of transitions at the navigation graph level that will apply to every `composable` in that graph. This continues up the hierarchy until you reach the root `AnimatedNavHost`, which controls the global transitions for all destinations and nested graphs that do not specify one.
+
+Note: this means that if a destination wants to instantly jump cut between destinations, it should return [`EnterTransition.None`](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/animation/EnterTransition#None()) or [`ExitTransition.None`](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/androidx/compose/animation/ExitTransition#None()) to signify that no transition should be run, rather than return `null`.
