 DESCRIPTION
-  For example, if your local project contains a package directory with metadata source files, the command asks if you 
-  want to deploy that Salesforce app to an org. The command lists your connected orgs and asks which one you want to 
-  deploy to. If the command finds Apex tests, it asks if you want to run them and at which level.
+  The command first analyzes your project, your active or logged-into environments, and local defaults to determine what 
+  to deploy and where to deploy it. The command then prompts you for information about this particular deployment and 
+  provides intelligent choices based on its analysis.
+
+  For example, if your local project contains a source directory with metadata files in source format, the command asks 
+  if you want to deploy that Salesforce app to an org. The command lists your connected orgs and asks which one you want 
+  to deploy to. If the command finds Apex tests, it asks if you want to run them and at which level.
 
   Similarly, if the command finds a local functions directory, the command prompts if you want to deploy it and to which 
   compute environment. The command prompts and connects you to a compute environment of your choice if you’re not 
   currently connected to any.
 
-  This command must be run from within a project.
-
   The command stores your responses in a local file and uses them as defaults when you rerun the command. Specify 
   --interactive to force the command to reprompt.
 
   Use this command for quick and simple deploys. For more complicated deployments, use the environment-specific 
   commands, such as "sf project deploy org", that provide additional flags.
 
-EXAMPLE
+EXAMPLES
+  Deploy a project and use stored values from a previous command run:
   sf deploy
+  Reprompt for all deployment inputs:
+  sf deploy --interactive
 ```
