 ### Basic example
 
-This example runs two commands to download the latest version of the `octo-org/security-queries` pack and then analyze the database `/codeql-dbs/example-repo`. 
+This example runs the `codeql database analyze` command with the `--download` option to:
+
+1. Download the latest version of the `octo-org/security-queries` pack.
+2. Download a version of the `octo-org/optional-security-queries` pack that is *compatible* with version 1.0.1 (in this case, it is version 1.0.2). For more information on semver compatibility, see [npm's semantic version range documentation](https://github.com/npm/node-semver#ranges).
+3. Run all the default queries in `octo-org/security-queries`.
+4. Run only the query `queries/csrf.ql` from `octo-org/optional-security-queries`
 
 ```

+### Direct download of {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} packs
+
+If you want to download a {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} pack without running it immediately, then you can use the `codeql pack download` command. This is useful if you want to avoid accessing the internet when running {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} queries. When you run the {% data variables.product.prodname_codeql %} analysis, you can specify packs, versions, and paths in the same way as in the previous example:
+
+```shell
+echo $OCTO-ORG_ACCESS_TOKEN | codeql pack download &lt;scope/name@version:path&gt; &lt;scope/name@version:path&gt; ...
+```
