-By default, compiler output from a given set of inputs is unique, since the compiler adds a timestamp and an MVID (a . Basically it is a GUID that uniquely identifies the module and version.) that is generated from random numbers. You use the `` option to produce a *deterministic assembly*, one whose binary content is identical across compilations as long as the input remains the same. In such a build, the timestamp and MVID fields will be replaced with values derived from a hash of all the compilation inputs. The compiler considers the following inputs that affect determinism:
+For modern .NET projects, deterministic compilation is enabled by default (the `Deterministic` property defaults to `true`). When deterministic compilation is enabled, the timestamp and MVID fields are replaced with values derived from a hash of all the compilation inputs, ensuring identical binary output for identical inputs.
+
+When deterministic compilation is disabled (`false`), compiler output from a given set of inputs is unique, since the compiler adds a timestamp and an MVID (a . Basically it is a GUID that uniquely identifies the module and version.) that is generated from random numbers.

+You use the `` option to produce a *deterministic assembly*, one whose binary content is identical across compilations as long as the input remains the same. The compiler considers the following inputs that affect determinism:
- The sequence of command-line parameters.
- The contents of the compiler's .rsp response file.
