 - `auto` = Renovate decides (this will be done on a manager-by-manager basis)
 - `pin` = convert ranges to exact versions, e.g. `^1.0.0` -> `1.1.0`
 - `bump` = e.g. bump the range even if the new version satisfies the existing range, e.g. `^1.0.0` -> `^1.1.0`
-- `replace` = Replace the range with a newer one if the new version falls outside it, e.g. `^1.0.0` -> `^2.0.0`
+- `replace` = Replace the range with a newer one if the new version falls outside it, and update nothing otherwise
 - `widen` = Widen the range with newer one, e.g. `^1.0.0` -> `^1.0.0 || ^2.0.0`
 - `update-lockfile` = Update the lock file when in-range updates are available, otherwise `replace` for updates out of range. Works for `bundler`, `composer`, `npm`, `yarn`, `terraform` and `poetry` so far
