-The dropout function. If `active` is `true`,

-Warning: when using this function, you have to manually manage the activation

-The [`Dropout`](@ref) layer is what you should use in most scenarios.

-Dropout layer.
+Layer implementing [dropout](https://arxiv.org/abs/1207.0580) with the given probability.
+This is used as a regularisation, i.e. to reduce overfitting.
 
-While training, for each input, this layer either sets that input to `0` (with probability
-`p`) or scales it by `1 / (1 - p)`. To apply dropout along certain dimension(s), specify the 
-`dims` keyword. e.g. `Dropout(p; dims = 3)` will randomly zero out entire channels on WHCN input
-(also called 2D dropout). This is used as a regularisation, i.e. it reduces overfitting during 
-training.
+While training, it sets each input to `0` (with probability `p`)
+or else scales it by `1 / (1 - p)`, using the [`NNlib.dropout`](@ref) function.
+While testing, it has no effect.
 
-In the forward pass, this layer applies the [`Flux.dropout`](@ref) function. See that for more
-details.
+By defaul the mode will switch automatically, but it can also
+be controlled manually via [`Flux.testmode!`](@ref).
 
-Specify `rng` to use a custom RNG instead of the default.
-Custom RNGs are only supported on the CPU.
+By default every input is treated independently. The `dims` keyword
+instead takes a random choice only along that dimension.
+For example `Dropout(p; dims = 3)` will randomly zero out entire channels on WHCN input
+(also called 2D dropout).
 
-Does nothing to the input once [`Flux.testmode!`](@ref) is `true`.
+Keyword `rng` lets you specify a custom random number generator.
+(Only supported on the CPU.)
