 ### Actor state
 
-Transactional state stores can be used to store actor state. To specify which state store to use for actors, specify value of property `actorStateStore` as `true` in the state store component's metadata section. Actors state is stored with a specific scheme in transactional state stores, allowing for consistent querying. Only a single state store component can be used as the state store for all actors. Read the [state API reference]({{% ref state_api.md %}}) and the [actors API reference]({{% ref actors_api.md %}}) to learn more about state stores for actors.

Actors state is stored with a specific scheme in transactional state stores, allowing for consistent querying. Only a single state store component can be used as the state store for all actors.

 #### Time to Live (TTL) on actor state
 You should always set the TTL metadata field (`ttlInSeconds`), or the equivalent API call in your chosen SDK when saving actor state to ensure that state eventually removed. Read [actors overview]({{% ref actors-overview.md %}}) for more information.

 ## Configuring state store for actors
 
-Actors don't support multiple state stores and require a transactional state store to be used with Dapr. [View which services currently implement the transactional state store interface]({{% ref "supported-state-stores.md" %}}).
+Actors don't support multiple state stores and require a transactional state store to be used with Dapr. [View which services currently implement the transactional state store interface]({{% ref "supported-state-stores.md" %}}). If your state store is backed by a distributed database, you must make sure that it provides strong consistency.
 
 Specify which state store to be used for actors with a `true` value for the property `actorStateStore` in the metadata section of the `statestore.yaml` component file.
 For example, the following components yaml will configure Redis to be used as the state store for Actors.
