 ## Overview
 
-This section walks you through extracting Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) from a C++ Docker image using the Docker SBOM CLI plugin. SBOMs provide a detailed list of all the components in a software package, including their versions and licenses. You can use SBOMs to track the provenance of your software and ensure that it complies with your organization's security and licensing policies.

 The image is named `hello`. To generate an SBOM for the `hello` image, run the following command:
 
 ```bash

 The command will say "No packages discovered". This is because the final image is a scratch image and doesn't have any packages.

 This command will build the image and generate an SBOM attestation. You can verify that the SBOM is attached to the image by running the following command:
 
 ```bash
-$ docker scout sbom --format=list hello:sbom
+$ docker scout sbom --format list hello:sbom
 ```
 
-Note that the normal `docker sbom` command will not load the SBOM attestation.
+Docker Scout reads the SBOM attestation when one is available, so this command reports packages from the build-stage metadata instead of indexing only the final scratch image filesystem.
 
 ## Summary
 
 In this section, you learned how to generate SBOM attestation for a C++ Docker image during the build process.
-The normal image scanners will not be able to generate SBOMs from scratch images.

+Image scanners that inspect only the final filesystem may not identify packages in scratch images.
+Use SBOM attestations to preserve package metadata from the build.
