 ## Intention Basics
 
-Intentions are managed primarily via
-[`service-intentions`](/docs/connect/config-entries/service-intentions) config
-entries or the UI. Some simpler tasks can also be achieved with the older
-[API](/api-docs/connect/intentions) or [CLI](/commands/intention). Please see
-the respective documentation for each for full details on options, flags, etc.
+You can define a [`service-intentions`](/docs/connect/config-entries/service-intentions) configuration entry to create and manage intentions, as well as manage intentions through the Consul UI. You can also perform some intention-related tasks using the API and CLI commands. Refer to the [API](/api-docs/connect/intentions) and [CLI](/commands/intention) documentation for details.
 
-Below is an example of a basic
-[`service-intentions`](/docs/connect/config-entries/service-intentions) config
-entry representing two simple intentions. The full data model complete with
-more examples can be found in the
-[`service-intentions`](/docs/connect/config-entries/service-intentions) config
-entry documentation.
+The following example shows a `service-intentions` configuration entry that specifes two intentions. Refer to the [`service-intentions`](/docs/connect/config-entries/service-intentions) documentation for the full data model and additional examples.
