 ## Selectors
 
-You can select a region of the event using JSON-path-like syntax. As an example, to delete a specific key in "Additional Data", you would configure:
+Selectors allow you to restrict rules to certain parts of the event. This is useful to unconditionally remove certain data by variable/field name from the event, but can also be used to conservatively test rules on real data.
+
+Data scrubbing always works on the raw event payload. Keep in mind that some fields in the UI may be called differently in the JSON schema. When looking at an event there should always be a link called "JSON" present that allows you to see what the data scrubber sees.
+
+For example, what is called "Additional Data" in the UI is called `extra` in the event payload. To remove a specific key called `foo`, you would write:
+
+```
+[Remove] [Anything] from [extra.foo]
+```
+
+Another example. Sentry knows about two kinds of error messages: the exception message, and the top-level log message. Here is an example of how such an event payload as sent by the SDK (and downloadable from the UI) would look like:
+
+```json
+{
+  "logentry": {
+    "formatted": "Failed to roll out the dinglebop"
+  },
+  "exception": {
+    "values": [
+      {
+        "type": "ZeroDivisionError",
+        "value": "integer division or modulo by zero",
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Since the "error message" is taken from the `exception`'s `value`, and the "message" is taken from `logentry`, we would have to write the following to remove both from the event:
 
-> `Remove` `Anything` from `extra.foo`
+```
+[Remove] [Anything] from [exception.value]
+[Remove] [Anything] from [logentry.formatted]
+```
 
 ### Boolean Logic
 
 You can combine selectors using boolean logic.
 
-* Prefix with `!` to invert the selector. `foo` matches the JSON key `foo`, while `(~foo)` matches everything but `foo`.
+* Prefix with `!` to invert the selector. `foo` matches the JSON key `foo`, while `!foo` matches everything but `foo`.
 * Build the conjunction (AND) using `&&`, such as: `foo && !extra.foo` to match the key `foo` except when inside of `extra`.
 * Build the disjunction (OR) using `||`, such as: `foo || bar` to match `foo` or `bar`.
