 ## 2.7 SKU Support
 
 The EDK II build system provides the capability of supporting multiple SKUs in
 a single firmware image. SKU selection is a runtime option that can be set from
-a platform driver. The build system also supports building a specific SKU. The
-SKU enabled PCD sections (defined by a PCD section tag in the DSC file that

+
+The SKU enabled PCD sections (defined by a PCD section tag in the DSC file that
 contains a SKUID modifier that is not DEFAULT) are a sparsely populated set of
 configuration settings. The platform developer may specify one or more PCDs that
 will have different values than the PCD values specified by the default SKU.
 Additional PCDs not listed in a default PCD section may also be specified under
-a section with a SKUID modifier.

 During runtime, the PCD drivers will automatically return a default SKU value
 if no specific SKU value was specified after a platform driver calls SetSku().
 The configuration elements, PCDs, must be accessed using either Dynamic or
 DynamicEx PCD access methods. When building and image that supports multiple
 SKUs, the Feature Flag, Fixed At Build and Patchable In Module PCDs will only
 use the default SKU configuration settings. The default configuration settings
 are identified by PCD section tags that have either a Default SKUID modifier
 or have not SKUID modifier. The set of SKUs that can be included is configurable

-element or through setting one or more -x SKUID command-line options to the build
-command.
+either through setting the list in the DSC file `[Defines]` section's 
+`SKU_IDENTIFIER` element or through setting one or more -x SKUID command-line
+options to the build command.

 When building a single SKU, it is possible to use SKU specific Feature Flag, Fixed
 At Build and Patchable In Module configuration elements along with the Dynamic and
 DynamicEx PCD for the specific SKU. The build tools will automatically adjust the
 SKU specific Dynamic and DynamicEx PCD values overriding the default values. This
 is equivalent of running SetSku immediately on reset.

 **Note:** If there are no PcdsDynamic or PcdsDynamicEx section tags that use a
 SkuId modifier, then only the DEFAULT values will be placed into the PCD Database.
 The platform drivers must not call SetSku() for this single SKU, as the 'DEFAULT'
 SKU will be the only SKU available when built by this method.
