 ## Hot Reload Indicator
 
-Hot Reload displays a visual indicator to help you further monitor changes while developing. It displays new information every time Hot Reload is triggered. The indicator is enabled by default within the `UseStudio()` method which is located in the root `App.xaml.cs` file. This displays an overlay which hosts the visual indicator. If you wish to disable it, you simply have to provide the following boolean: `EnableHotReload(disableIndicator: true)`, removing the overlay from the view.

+## What's the difference between Uno.Sdk and Uno Platform Studio?
+
+**Uno.Sdk** is the core SDK that powers the Uno Platform, enabling you to build cross-platform applications using C# and XAML from a single project. **Uno Platform Studio** is a suite of productivity tools that enhance your development experience, including Hot Design™, Hot Reload, and Design-to-Code. 
+
+As the **Uno Platform Studio** is built on top of **Uno.Sdk**, it's only available to applications that have been created, or updated, to use the **Uno.Sdk**. If you haven't updated your project to use the **Uno.Sdk**, you can do so by following the [migration guide](xref:Uno.Development.MigratingFromPreviousReleases).
