 ### Base64 Encoded Cursor
 
 The `Mongoid::Scroll::Base64EncodedCursor` can be used instead of `Mongoid::Scroll::Cursor` to generate a base64-encoded string (using RFC 4648) containing all the information needed to rebuild a cursor.
 
 ```ruby
-Feed::Item.desc(:position).limit(5).scroll(Mongoid::Scroll::Base64EncodedCursor) do |record, next_cursor|

+## Upgrading to >= 2.0.0
+
+The second argument passed to the block in `Mongoid::Criteria::Scrollable#scroll` and `Mongo::Scrollable#scroll` has changed. It is now an instance of `Mongoid::Criteria::Scrollable` that provides two methods: `next_cursor` and `previous_cursor`. The `next_cursor` method returns the same cursor as in versions prior to 2.0.0.
+
+For example, this code:
+
+```ruby
+Feed::Item.asc(field_name).limit(2).scroll(cursor) do |_, next_cursor|
+  cursor = next_cursor
+end
+```
+
+Should be updated to:
+
+```
+Feed::Item.asc(field_name).limit(2).scroll(cursor) do |_, iterator|
+  cursor = iterator.next_cursor
