+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.
