-There are all kinds of stacked decoders available, but keep in mind that they're not
-shown in the decoder menu. Stacked decoders require a lower-level decoder first before
-they become stackable. Most of the time, they require either the UART, I²C or SPI decoder.
+In this example, we added the I²C and DS1307 decoders separately. However, when opening
+the decoder selector window, you can also double-click on the DS1307 decoder and PulseView
+will try to auto-resolve the dependencies needed to use this decoder. In case there are
+ambiguities (e.g. when several different protocol decoders offer 'uart' output), it will
+ask you to choose which one to use.
