 **Agent Framework Customization Options:**
 
 The Magentic workflow provides extensive customization options:
 
-- **Manager configuration**: Custom orchestrator models and prompts
+- **Manager configuration**: Use a ChatAgent with custom instructions and model settings
 - **Round limits**: `max_round_count`, `max_stall_count`, `max_reset_count`
-- **Event callbacks**: Real-time streaming with granular event filtering
+- **Event streaming**: Use `AgentRunUpdateEvent` with `magentic_event_type` metadata
 - **Agent specialization**: Custom instructions and tools per agent
-- **Callback modes**: `STREAMING` for real-time updates or `BATCH` for final results
-- **Human-in-the-loop planning**: Custom planner functions for interactive workflows
+- **Human-in-the-loop**: Plan review, tool approval, and stall intervention

 Agent Framework package is installed as `agent-framework` and imported as `agent_framework`.
-Agent Framework is built up differently, it has a core package `agent-framework-core` that contains the core functionality, and then there are multiple packages that rely on that core package, such as `agent-framework-azure-ai`, `agent-framework-mem0`, `agent-framework-copilotstudio`, etc. When you run `pip install agent-framework` it will install the core package and *all* packages, so that you can get started with all the features quickly. When you are ready to reduce the number of packages because you know what you need, you can install only the packages you need, so for instance if you only plan to use Azure AI Foundry and Mem0 you can install only those two packages: `pip install agent-framework-azure-ai agent-framework-mem0`, `agent-framework-core` is a dependency to those two, so will automatically be installed.
