-Each time a value is changed it will trigger a `updated_signal` signal.
+Each time a value is changed it will trigger a `config_updated` signal.
 
 You can use it as:
 
 .. code-block:: python
 
-    from constance.signals import updated_signal
+    from constance.signals import config_updated
 
-    @receiver(updated_signal)
