 ## Entity overview
 
-_Entities_ are a fundamental aspect of federated schemas.
-In a supergraph, an entity is an object type that can resolve its fields across multiple subgraphs.
-Each subgraph can contribute different fields to the entity and is responsible for resolving only the fields that it contributes.
-This enables subgraphs to adhere to the separation of concerns principle.
+In Apollo Federation, federated data objects are represented as _entities_. Entities are objects that can be fetched with one or more unique key fields. Like a row in a database table, an entity contains fields of various types, and it can be uniquely identified by a key field or set of fields.
 
-For example, this `Product` entity's fields are defined and resolved across two subgraphs:
+Entities are defined in subgraph schemas. Each subgraph can contribute different fields to an entity it defines and is responsible for _resolving_ it—returning only the fields that it contributes. This enables subgraphs to adhere to the separation of concerns principle.
+
+An _entity type_ is an object type that has been [defined as an entity](#defining-an-entity). Because an entity is keyed, an entity type's definition must have a `@key` directive. For example, this `Product` entity's fields are defined and resolved across two subgraphs:

 ## Defining an entity
 
@@ -54,6 +54,14 @@ To define an entity within a particular subgraph, you do the following:
 1. Apply the [`@key` directive](#1-define-a-key) to an object type.
 2. Define the object type's [reference resolver](#2-define-a-reference-resolver).
 
+<Tip>
+
+With Apollo Connectors, you add [connector directives](/graphos/schema-design/connectors/directives) instead of writing reference resolver code. 
+
+You can [set `entity: true`](/graphos/schema-design/connectors/directives#rules-for-entity-true) for the `@connect` directive to provide an entity resolver for its fields.
