+### Entity Updates
+
+There are a few caveats to be aware of when updating entities using the entity adapter. 
+
+The first is that `updateOne` and `updateMany` make use of the `Update<T>` interface shown below. This supports partial updates.
+
+```typescript
+interface UpdateStr<T> {
+  id: string;
+  changes: Partial<T>;
+}
+
+interface UpdateNum<T> {
+  id: number;
+  changes: Partial<T>;
+}
+
+type Update<T> = UpdateStr<T> | UpdateNum<T>;
+```
+
+Secondly, `upsertOne` and `upsertMany` will perform an insert or update. If a partial entity is provided this will perform an update.
+
+To prevent partial updates either explicitly set all the fields, setting non-used fields with value `undefined`, or use the `setOne` or `setAll` adapter methods. 
+
 ### Entity Selectors
 
 The `getSelectors` method returned by the created entity adapter provides functions for selecting information from the entity.
