 To specify a type of the dependency use ``instance_of`` argument: ``Dependency(instance_of=SomeClass)``.
 Dependency provider will control that returned object is an instance of ``instance_of`` type.
 
-The ``Dependency`` provider must be overridden before usage. It can be overridden by any type of
-the provider. The only rule is that overriding provider must return an instance of ``instance_of``
-dependency type.

+To provide a dependency you need to override the ``Dependency`` provider. You can call
+provider ``.override()`` method or provide an overriding provider when creating a container.
+See :ref:`provider-overriding`.
+
+You also can provide a default for the dependency. To provide a default use ``default`` argument:
+``Dependency(..., default=...)``. Default can be a value or a provider. If default is not a provider,
+dependency provider will wrap it into the ``Object`` provider.
