 The `Show Up` signal
 ------------------------
 
 The SingleApplication class implements a `showUp()` signal. You can bind to that
 signal to raise your application's window when a new instance had been started.
 
-Note that since `SingleApplication` extends the `QApplication` class you can do
-the following:
-
 ```cpp
 // window is a QWindow instance
 QObject::connect( &app, &SingleApplication::showUp, window, &QWindow::raise );
 ```
 
-Using `QApplication::instance()` is a neat way to get the `SingleApplication`
-instance anywhere in your program.

 __*Note:*__ If your Primary Instance is terminated upon launch of a new one it
 will replace it as Primary even if the `--secondary` argument has been set.
