 Both the `-Y / --computer` option and `-t / --time-limit` options are required.
+Use the `--hyper-threading` or `--no-hyper-threading` options to enable or disable hyper-threading for the worker allocation.
 After the double hyphen `--`, you can place additional Slurm options to e.g. specify your project account (`-A`), constraints (`-C`) and the partition you want to run on (`-p`).
 Once one or more allocations have been configured, you can check the list of allocations with `verdi data hyperqueue alloc list`:
