+``findAndMondify`` Returns Null value for Upserts
+`````````````````````````````````````````````````
+
+In version 2.2, for :term:`upsert` operations, :dbcommand:`findAndModify`
+commands will now return the following output:
+
+.. code-block:: javascript
+
+   {'ok': 1.0, 'value': null}
+
+In the :program:`mongo` shell, :dbcommand:`findAndModify` operations
+running as upserts will only output a ``null`` value.
+
+Previously, in version 2.0 these operations would return an empty
+document, e.g. ``{ }``.
+
+See: :issue:`SERVER-6226`.
