-This plugin automatically resizes the editor to the content inside it. It is typically used to prevent the editor from expanding infinitely as a user types into the editable area. For example, by giving the `+max_height+` option a value the editor will stop resizing when the set value is reached.
+The {pluginname} plugin automatically adjusts the editor height to match its content. This creates a more intuitive editing experience where the editor grows and shrinks naturally with content. Setting the `+max_height+` option would allow you to still control when the content would become scrollable.

+== How it works
+
+The Autoresize plugin monitors content changes and automatically adjusts the editor height to accommodate the content. When enabled:
+
+* The editor initializes and renders based on the minimum height specified by `+min_height+` option.
+* As content is added, the editor expands vertically
+* The editor stops expanding when it reaches the `+max_height+` limit
+* The `+resize+` handle is removed from the editor.
+
 == Options
 
-These settings affect the execution of the Autoresize plugin, including changes to the minimum width, height, bottom margin, and default initialization state.
+These settings control the autoresize behavior, including height limits, padding, and margins.

+* The editor needs to be resized after external changes
+* You want to ensure the editor size matches its content at a specific moment
