 /// {@tool dartpad}
-/// This example has a [NavigationBar] where each destination has its
-/// own Navigator, Scaffold, and Appbar. That means that each
-/// destination has an independent route history and (app bar) back
-/// button. A [Stack] is used to display one destination at a time and
-/// destination changes are handled by cross fade transitions. Destinations
-/// that have been completely faded out are [Offstage].
+/// This example shows a [NavigationBar] as it is used within a [Scaffold]
+/// widget. The [NavigationBar] has three [NavigationDestination] widgets
+/// and the [selectedIndex] is set to index 0. The `onDestinationSelected` callback
+/// changes the selected item's index and displays a corresponding widget in the body of the [Scaffold].
 ///
-/// One can see that the appearance of each destination's dialogs, bottom sheet,
-/// list scrolling state, and text field state, persist when another destination
-/// is selected.
