+- Range: `-1` or `[1, 256]`
 - Unit: Threads
-- Specifies the number of threads in the [Resolve Locks](/garbage-collection-overview.md#resolve-locks) step of GC. A value of `-1` means that TiDB will automatically decide the number of garbage collection threads to use.
+- This variable controls the number of concurrent threads during the [Resolve Locks](/garbage-collection-overview.md#resolve-locks) step of the [Garbage Collection (GC)](/garbage-collection-overview.md) process.
+- Starting from v8.3.0, this variable also controls the number of concurrent threads during the [Delete Ranges](/garbage-collection-overview.md#delete-ranges) step of the GC process.
+- By default, this variable is `-1`, allowing TiDB to automatically determine the appropriate number of threads based on workloads.
+- When this variable is set to a number in the range of `[1, 256]`:
+    - Resolve Locks directly uses the value set for this variable as the number of threads.
+    - Delete Range uses one-fourth of the value set for this variable as the number of threads.
