 ## Usage
 
-For simple transitions, provide a numeric source value to watch. When changed, the output will transition to the new value. If the source changes while a transition is in progress, a new transition will begin from where the previous one was interrupted.
+Define a numeric source value to follow, and when changed the output will transition to the new value. If the source changes while a transition is in progress, a new transition will begin from where the previous one was interrupted.

 To temporarily stop transitioning, define a boolean `disabled` property. Be aware, this is not the same a `duration` of `0`. Disabled transitions track the source value **_synchronously_**. They do not respect a `delay`, and do not fire `onStarted` or `onFinished` callbacks.
+
+For more control, transitions can be executed manually by using `executeTransition`. This function returns a promise that resolves upon completion. Manual transitions can be cancelled by defining an `abort` function that returns a truthy value.
