 ## Quickstart
 
-### Preferred method: using `java-libraries-bom`
-If your use case is to enable authentication for a GAPIC library such as `google-cloud-datastore`,
-you may want simply add `libraries-bom`, which automatically imports the auth bom, to your pom.xml
-as follows:
+### Importing the Auth Library
+
+#### Java SDK Libraries-Bom
+If you are trying to authenticate to a client library in the Java SDK (i.e. `google-cloud-datastore`),
+you can import add `libraries-bom` to manage the versions of your dependencies. The BOM will pull in the
+versions of Auth Library compatible with the client library.

+For example, importing with Maven from a pom.xml:

+### Migrating from GoogleCredential to GoogleCredentials
+[GoogleCredential](https://cloud.google.com/java/docs/reference/google-api-client/latest/com.google.api.client.googleapis.auth.oauth2.GoogleCredential)
+from google-api-java-client is deprecated and GoogleCredentials is the recommended replacement.
+
+We recommend users to instantiate GoogleCredentials with [Application Default Credentials (ADC)](#application-default-credentials):
+`GoogleCredentials credentials = GoogleCredentials.getApplicationDefault();`
+
+For [Google Api Client Library](https://cloud.google.com/apis/docs/client-libraries-explained#google-api-client-libraries) users, please refer to this
+[guide](https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/java/google-api-java-client/requests) for a example to instantiate a library with GoogleCredentials.
+
+For [Cloud Client Libraries](https://cloud.google.com/apis/docs/client-libraries-explained#cloud-client-libraries), the library will follow ADC to create a 
+default GoogleCredential. Users do not need to manually create any Credentials or pass it into the library.
