-Use the following annotation to start additional informers for any resources you are watching in your controller.
 
-```go
-// +informers:group=apps,version=v1,kind=Deployment

+To Watch additional resources from your controller do the following in your controller.go:
 
-Use the following annotation to generate RBAC rules to allow your controller to read and write resources when
-running in a container in a Kubernetes cluster.
+1. Add a `gc.Watch*` call to the `ProvideController`.  e.g. Call gc.[WatchTransformationKeyOf](https://godoc.org/github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pkg/controller#example-GenericController-WatchTransformationKeyOf)
+  - This will trigger Reconcile calls for events
+2. Add an [// +informers:](https://godoc.org/github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/pkg/gen/controller#example-package) annotation

 ### Watching resources
 
 Controllers watch resources to trigger reconcile functions.  It is common for controllers to reconcile a single resource
