### The React Tab Doesn't Show Up?
4141

42-
The current version of React Developer Tools is not compatible with all build
43-
systems. It tries to load the React runtime by either detecting a global called
44-
`React`, or by calling `require('React')` or `require('react')` in the global
45-
scope. Your page needs to support this to be compatible with the Developer
46-
Tools.
42+
The "React" tab won't show up if React can't communicate with the
43+
devtools. When the page loads, the devtools sets a global named
44+
`__REACT_DEVTOOLS_GLOBAL_HOOK__`, then React communicates with that
45+
hook during initialization.
46+
47+
(In React 0.11 and older, it was necessary to expose a global called `React`
48+
for the devtools to function.)
