-    AutoEnzyme{M,constant_function}
+    AutoEnzyme{M}
 
 Struct used to select the [Enzyme.jl](https://github.com/EnzymeAD/Enzyme.jl) backend for automatic differentiation.
 
 Defined by [ADTypes.jl](https://github.com/SciML/ADTypes.jl).
 
 # Constructors
 
-    AutoEnzyme(; mode=nothing, constant_function::Bool=false)
-
-The `constant_function` keyword argument (and type parameter) determines whether the function object itself should be considered constant or not during differentiation with Enzyme.jl.
-For simple functions, `constant_function` should usually be set to `true`, which leads to increased performance.
-However, in the case of closures or callable structs which contain differentiated data, `constant_function` should be set to `false` to ensure correctness (more details below).
+    AutoEnzyme(; mode=nothing)
 
 # Fields
 
   - `mode::M`: can be either
 
       + an object subtyping `EnzymeCore.Mode` (like `EnzymeCore.Forward` or `EnzymeCore.Reverse`) if a specific mode is required
       + `nothing` to choose the best mode automatically
-
-# Notes
-
-We now give several examples of functions.
-For each one, we explain how `constant_function` should be set in order to compute the correct derivative with respect to the input `x`.
-
-```julia
-function f1(x)
-    return x[1]
-end
-```
-
-The function `f1` is not a closure, it does not contain any data.
-Thus `f1` can be differentiated with `AutoEnzyme(constant_function=true)` (although here setting `constant_function=false` would change neither correctness nor performance).
-
-```julia
-parameter = [0.0]
-function f2(x)
-    return parameter[1] + x[1]
-end
-```
-
-The function `f2` is a closure over `parameter`, but `parameter` is never modified based on the input `x`.
-Thus, `f2` can be differentiated with `AutoEnzyme(constant_function=true)` (setting `constant_function=false` would not change correctness but would hinder performance).
-
-```julia
-cache = [0.0]
-function f3(x)
-    cache[1] = x[1]
-    return cache[1] + x[1]
-end
-```
-
-The function `f3` is a closure over `cache`, and `cache` is modified based on the input `x`.
-That means `cache` cannot be treated as constant, since derivative values must be propagated through it.
-Thus `f3` must be differentiated with `AutoEnzyme(constant_function=false)` (setting `constant_function=true` would make the result incorrect).
