 # OFFSET LIMIT (NoSQL query)
 
 [!INCLUDE[NoSQL](../../includes/appliesto-nosql.md)]
 
-The ``OFFSET LIMIT`` clause is an optional clause to **skip** and then **take** some number of values from the query. The ``OFFSET`` count and the ``LIMIT`` count are required in the OFFSET LIMIT clause.
+The `OFFSET LIMIT` clause is an optional clause to **skip** and then **take** some number of values from the query. The `OFFSET` count and the `LIMIT` count are required in the OFFSET LIMIT clause.
 
-When ``OFFSET LIMIT`` is used with an ``ORDER BY`` clause, the result set is produced by doing skip and take on the ordered values. If no ``ORDER BY`` clause is used, it results in a deterministic order of values.

 ## Syntax
 
 ```nosql  
 OFFSET <offset_amount> LIMIT <limit_amount>
-```  
+```
 
 ## Arguments
 
 | | Description |
 | --- | --- |
-| **``<offset_amount>``** | Specifies the integer number of items that the query results should skip. |
-| **``<limit_amount>``** | Specifies the integer number of items that the query results should include. |
+| **`<offset_amount>`** | Specifies the integer number of items that the query results should skip. |
+| **`<limit_amount>`** | Specifies the integer number of items that the query results should include. |
 
 ## Examples
 
-For the example in this section, this reference set of items is used. Each item includes a ``name`` property.

-This example includes a query using the ``OFFSET LIMIT`` clause to return a subset of the matching items by skipping **one** item and taking the next **three**.

+This next example includes a query using the `OFFSET LIMIT` clause to skip the first item. The limit is set to the number of items in the container to return all possible remaining values. In this example, the query skips **one** item, and returns the remaining **four** (out of a limit of five).

 ## Remarks
 
-- Both the ``OFFSET`` count and the ``LIMIT`` count are required in the ``OFFSET LIMIT`` clause. If an optional ``ORDER BY`` clause is used, the result set is produced by doing the skip over the ordered values. Otherwise, the query returns a fixed order of values.
-- The RU charge of a query with ``OFFSET LIMIT`` increases as the number of terms being offset increases. For queries that have [multiple pages of results](pagination.md), we typically recommend using [continuation tokens](pagination.md#continuation-tokens). Continuation tokens are a "bookmark" for the place where the query can later resume. If you use ``OFFSET LIMIT``, there's no "bookmark." If you wanted to return the query's next page, you would have to start from the beginning.
-- You should use ``OFFSET LIMIT`` for cases when you would like to skip items entirely and save client resources. For example, you should use ``OFFSET LIMIT`` if you want to skip to the 1000th query result and have no need to view results 1 through 999. On the backend, ``OFFSET LIMIT`` still loads each item, including those items that are skipped. The performance advantage is measured in reducing client resources by avoiding processing items that aren't needed.
