+## Deprecated `help` option in field description
+
+You MUST use Symfony's [`help`](https://symfony.com/doc/4.4/reference/forms/types/form.html#help) option instead.
+
+Before:
+```php
+$formMapper
+    ->add('field', null, [
+        'help' => 'Help text <small>Please!</small>',
+    ]);
+```

-SonataAdmin lets us put raw HTML into the 'help' option for any given form field.
+You can use Symfony 'help' and 'help_html' options to put raw HTML into any given form field.
 We are going to use this functionality to embed an image tag when an image exists.
 
 To do this we need to:
 
 - get access to the ``Image`` instance from within ``ImageAdmin``
 - create an image tag based on the Image's URL
-- add a 'help' option to a field on the Image form to display the image tag
+- add a 'help' and 'help_html' option to a field on the Image form to display the image tag
 
 For the sake of this example we will use some basic CSS to restrict the size of
 the preview image (we are not going to generate and save special thumbnails).
