-## `pip compile`
+## `pip compile` defaults
 
 There are a few small but notable differences in the default behaviors of `pip compile` and
 `pip-tools`.
 
-uv does not write the compiled requirements to file by default. Use the `-o` or `--output-file`
-option.
+By default, uv does not write the compiled requirements to an output file. Instead, uv requires
+that the user specify an output file explicitly with the `-o` or `--output-file` option.
 
-Currently, `pip-compile` defaults to `--no-strip-extras`, though this is scheduled to change in the
-next major release.
+By default, uv strips extras when outputting the compiled requirements. In other words, uv defaults to
+`--strip-extras`, while `pip-compile` defaults to `--no-strip-extras`. `pip-compile` is scheduled to
+change this default in the next major release (v8.0.0), at which point both tools will default to
+`--strip-extras`. To retain extras with uv, pass the `--no-strip-extras` flag to `uv pip compile`.
 
-If your requirements file includes an `--extra-index-url` directive, uv will not emit it by
-default. Use the `--emit-index-url` option. uv will also include its default `--index-url`.
+By default, uv does not write any index URLs to the output file, while `pip-compile` outputs any
+`--index-url` or `--extra-index-url` that does not match the default (PyPI). To include index URLs
+in the output file, pass the `--emit-index-url` flag to `uv pip compile`. Unlike `pip-compile`,
+uv will include all index URLs when `--emit-index-url` is passed, including the default index URL.
