 See [License](LICENSE.md)
 
-## Upgrading from version 2
+## Usage
 
-BaseObject drops `sheadawson/silverstripe-linkable` usage in favor of `gorriecoe/silverstripe-linkfield`. To avoid data loss, install the `dynamic/silverstripe-link-migrator` module as follows:
+`BaseElementObject` is a versioned DataObject that provides a reusable foundation for managing collections of related content within Elemental blocks. It's designed to be extended or used as a `has_many` relationship in custom Element classes.
 
-```markdown
-composer require dynamic/silverstripe-link-migrator
-```
+### Features
+
+The base object includes:
+
+- **Title** - Text field with optional display toggle (using `TextCheckboxGroupField`)
+- **Content** - HTML text area for rich content
+- **Image** - Image upload with automatic organization into `Uploads/Elements/Objects`
+- **Link** - Configurable call-to-action using SilverStripe LinkField
+- **Versioning** - Full draft/publish workflow with GridField extensions
+- **Permissions** - Inherits permissions from the current page context
+
+### Common Usage Pattern
+
+Typically used as a `has_many` relationship in Elemental blocks:
 
-Then, run the task "Linkable to SilverStripe Link Migration" via `/dev/tasks`, or cli via:
-```markdown
-vendor/bin/sake dev/tasks/LinkableMigrationTask
+```php
+use Dynamic\BaseObject\Model\BaseElementObject;
+use DNADesign\Elemental\Models\BaseElement;
+
+class ElementAccordion extends BaseElement
+{
+    private static $has_many = [
+        'Items' => BaseElementObject::class,
+    ];
+}
 ```
 
-This will populate all of the new Link fields with data from the old class.
+### Extending BaseElementObject
 
-## Usage
+For custom functionality, extend the class:
+
+```php
+use Dynamic\BaseObject\Model\BaseElementObject;
+
+class PromoObject extends BaseElementObject
+{
+    private static $db = [
+        'Subtitle' => 'Varchar(255)',
+    ];
+    
+    private static $table_name = 'PromoObject';
+}
+```
