 ## About this Workshop
 
-Oracle Database 23ai is a *Long Term Support Release*. It is available or will be available on all popular on-prem platforms, Oracle Exadata Database Machine, Oracle Database Appliance, and in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. As the latest Long Term Support Release, it offers customers the highest levels of stability and the longest error correction support. And, by upgrading to Oracle Database 23ai, customers will have Premier Support until the end of April 2029 and Extended Support until end of April 2032.  There is a direct upgrade path to Oracle Database 23ai from Oracle Database 19c and 21c, regardless of the Release Update applied.
+Oracle Database 23ai is a *Long Term Support Release*. This lab combines several upgrade and migration methods, and equips you with performance features and tools to ensure stability when you move to any new Oracle Database release. By upgrading to Oracle Database 23ai, you will have Premier Support until the end of 2031 and Extended Support for a period thereafter. There is a direct upgrade path to Oracle Database 23ai from Oracle Database 19c and 21c, regardless of the Release Update applied.

 ### AutoUpgrade
 
-- AutoUpgrade is the only recommended tool to upgrade Oracle databases. Whether you want to upgrade only one or thousands of databases, AutoUpgrade performs not only the upgrade but also all the pre and post-upgrade tasks. It can upgrade many databases in parallel and allows all sorts of customizations needed in today's complex environments. Furthermore, AutoUpgrade can also plugin your database into a precreated CDB and does the conversion of a non-CDB into a PDB fully unattended. AutoUpgrade works on all supported platforms, for non-CDB and CDBs, for all or only selected pluggable databases.

 ### Migrating data using Oracle Data Pump
 
-- Data Pump provides export and import capabilities. Oracle Data Pump can perform a full or partial export from your database, followed by a full or partial import into the new release of Oracle Database. Data Pump allows to migrate directly into PDBs as well and works independently of the source database version across versions and operating system platforms. In addition, Data Pump in conjunction with transportable tablespaces takes away the complexity of rebuilding all the metadata objects with just one command as Full Transportable Export/Import.
