 ### Starting a new Span
 
-The common case starts an `Scope` that's automatically registered for intra-process propagation via `ScopeManager`. The best practice is to use a try-with-resources pattern which handles Exceptions and early returns:
+The common case starts a `Scope` that's automatically registered for intra-process propagation via `ScopeManager`.
 
-```java
-io.opentracing.Tracer tracer = ...;
-...
-try (Scope scope = tracer.buildSpan("someWork").startActive()) {
-    // Do things.
-    //
-    // If we create async work, `scope.span()` allows us to pass the `Span` along as well.
-}
-```
-
-The above is semantically equivalent to the more explicit try-finally version:
+Note that `startActive(true)` finishes the span on `Scope.close()`.
+Use it carefully because the `try-with-resources` construct finishes the span before
+the `catch` or `finally` blocks are executed, which makes logging exceptions and 
+setting tags impossible. It is recommended to start the span and activate it later in `try-with-resources`.
+This makes the span available in catch and finally blocks.
 
 ```java
 io.opentracing.Tracer tracer = ...;
 ...
-Scope scope = tracer.buildSpan("someWork").startActive();
-try {
+Span span = tracer.buildSpan("someWork").start();
+try (Scope scope = tracer.scopeManager().activate(span, false))
     // Do things.
+} catch {
+    Tags.ERROR.set(scope.span(), true);
 } finally {
-    scope.deactivate();
+    span.finish();
 }
 ```
 
-To manually step around the `ScopeManager` registration, use `startManual()`, like this:
+The following code uses `try-with-resources` to finish the span.
 
 ```java
 io.opentracing.Tracer tracer = ...;
 ...
-Span span = tracer.buildSpan("someWork").startManual();
-try {
-    // (do things / record data to `span`)
-} finally {
-    span.finish();
+try (Scope scope = tracer.buildSpan("someWork").startActive(true)) {
+    // Do things.
+    //
+    // `scope.span()` allows us to pass the `Span` to newly created threads.
 }
 ```
 
-**If there is an `Scope`, it will act as the parent to any newly started `Span`** unless the programmer invokes `ignoreActiveSpan()` at `buildSpan()` time, like so:
+**If there is a `Scope`, it will act as the parent to any newly started `Span`** unless 
+the programmer invokes `ignoreActiveSpan()` at `buildSpan()` time or specified parent context explicitly:
 
 ```java
 io.opentracing.Tracer tracer = ...;
 ...
 Scope scope = tracer.buildSpan("someWork").ignoreActiveSpan().startActive();
 ```
 
-#### Explicit `finish()`ing via `Scope.activate(boolean)`
-
-When an `Scope` is created (either via `Tracer.SpanBuilder#startActive` or `ScopeManager#activate`), it's possible to specify whether the `Span` will be finished upon `Scope.deactivate()`, through a method overload taking a `finishSpanOnClose` parameter, which defaults to true.
-
-```java
-io.opentracing.Tracer tracer = ...;
-...
-try (Scope scope = tracer.buildSpan("someWork").startActive(false)) {
-    // false was passed to `startActive()`, so the `Span` will not be finished
-    // upon Scope deactivation
-}
-```
-
-This is specially useful when a `Span` needs to be passed to a another thread or callback, reactivated, and then passed to the next thread or callback, and only be finished when the task end is reached.

 ### Deferring asynchronous work
 
 Consider the case where a `Span`'s lifetime logically starts in one thread and ends in another. For instance, the Span's own internal timing breakdown might look like this:
