+Enable automatic tracing on your Workers, giving you detailed metadata and timing information for every operation your Worker performs.
 
 ![Tracing example](~/assets/images/workers-observability/R2_Screenshot.png)
 
 Tracing helps you identify performance bottlenecks, resolve errors, and understand how your Worker interacts with other services on the Workers platform. You can now answer questions like:
-* Which calls are slowing down my application?
-* Which queries to my database take the longest? 
-* What happened within a request that resulted in an error?

+- Which calls are slowing down my application?
+- Which queries to my database take the longest?
+- What happened within a request that resulted in an error?
 
 **You can now:**
-* View traces alongside your logs in the Workers Observability dashboard
-* Export traces (and correlated logs) to any [OTLP-compatible destination](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/specs/otel/protocol/), such as [Honeycomb](/workers/observability/exporting-opentelemetry-data/honeycomb/), [Sentry](/workers/observability/exporting-opentelemetry-data/sentry/) or [Grafana](/workers/observability/exporting-opentelemetry-data/grafana-cloud/), by configuring a tracing destination in the [Cloudflare dashboard](https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/workers-and-pages/observability/destinations)
-* Analyze and query across span attributes (operation type, status, duration, errors)

+:::note
+In the future, Cloudflare plans to enable automatic tracing in addition to logs
+when you set `observability.enabled = true` in your Wrangler configuration.
+
+While automatic tracing is in early beta, this setting will not enable tracing by default,
+and will only enable logs.
+
+An updated `compatibility_date` will be required for this change to take effect.
