 === Spring Data Support
 
-You may consider enabling Jackson Modules for the support `org.springframework.data.domain.Page` and `org.springframework.data.domain.Sort` decoding.
+If Jackson Databind and Spring Data Commons are on the classpath, converters for `org.springframework.data.domain.Page` and `org.springframework.data.domain.Sort` will be added automatically.

 === Spring `@RefreshScope` Support
 If Feign client refresh is enabled, each feign client is created with `feign.Request.Options` as a refresh-scoped bean. This means properties such as `connectTimeout` and `readTimeout` can be refreshed against any Feign client instance through `POST /actuator/refresh`.
