       The toast_tuple_target specifies the minimum tuple length required before
-      we try to move long column values into TOAST tables, and is also the

+      we try to compress and/or move long column values into TOAST tables, and
+      is also the target length we try to reduce the length below once toasting
+      begins. This affects columns marked as External (for move),
+      Main (for compression), or Extended (for both) and applies only to new
+      tuples. There is no effect on existing rows.
       By default this parameter is set to allow at least 4 tuples per block,
       which with the default block size will be 2040 bytes. Valid values are
       between 128 bytes and the (block size - header), by default 8160 bytes.
