 This example shows how to use django-spanner for Cloud Spanner as a backend database for [https://healthchecks.io](https://healthchecks.io)
 
+*NOTE:* Use the version of python-spanner-django that corresponds to your version of Django. For example, python-spanner-django 2.2.x works with Django 2.2.y. (This is the only supported version at this time.)

+You'll need to download a service account JSON keyfile and point to it using an environment variable:

 ### Update local_settings.py
 After we have a Cloud Spanner database created, we'll need a few variables:
 * ProjectID
 * Instance name
 * Database name aka DisplayName
 
-Once in, please edit the file `hc/local_settings.py` to:
-a) Add `django_spanner` as the first entry to `INSTALLED_APPS`
-```python
-INSTALLED_APPS = [
-    'django_spanner',  # Must be listed first.
-    ...
-]
-```
-**The rest of the apps MUST be copied from hc/settings.py**
-
 
-b) Edit `DATABASES` into the following:
-```python
-DATABASES = {
-    'default': {
-        'ENGINE': 'django_spanner',
-        'PROJECT': PROJECT_ID,
-        'INSTANCE': SPANNER_INSTANCE,
-        'NAME': SPANNER_DATABASE_NAME,
-    }
-}
-```
+*NOTE:* Healthchecks's  `local_settings.py` overrides the default settings 
+mentioned in `settings.py`.
+
+There are two ways to edit settings file:
+1. You can edit the file `hc/settings.py` to: 
+    
+    a) Add `django_spanner` as the first entry to `INSTALLED_APPS`:
+    
+        ```python
+        INSTALLED_APPS = [
+            'django_spanner',  # Must be listed first.
+            ...
+        ]
+        ```
+        
+    b) Edit `DATABASES` into the following:
+    
+        ```python
+        DATABASES = {
+            'default': {
+                'ENGINE': 'django_spanner',
+                'PROJECT': PROJECT_ID,
+                'INSTANCE': SPANNER_INSTANCE,
+                'NAME': SPANNER_DATABASE_NAME,
+            }
+        }
+        ```
+
+2. You can edit the file `hc/local_settings.py` to:
+
+    a) The `INSTALLED_APPS` MUST be copied from hc/settings.py to hc/local_settings.py
+       and add `django_spanner` as the first entry to `INSTALLED_APPS`:
+       
+        ```python
+        INSTALLED_APPS = [
+            'django_spanner',  # Must be listed first.
+            ...
+        ]
+        ```
+
+    b) Add or Edit `DATABASES` into the following:
+    
+        ```python
+        DATABASES = {
+            'default': {
+                'ENGINE': 'django_spanner',
+                'PROJECT': PROJECT_ID,
+                'INSTANCE': SPANNER_INSTANCE,
+                'NAME': SPANNER_DATABASE_NAME,
+            }
+        }
+        ```
 
 and for example here is a filled in database where:
 
 * `PROJECT_ID`: spanner-appdev
-* INSTANCE: instance
-* NAME: `healthchecks_db`
+* `INSTANCE`: instance
+* `NAME`: healthchecks_db
 
 which when filled out, will look like this
