 When MongoDB Checks Validation
 ------------------------------
 
-When you create a new collection with schema validation, MongoDB checks
-validation during updates and inserts in that collection.
+After you add schema validation rules to a collection:
 
-When you add validation to an existing, non-empty collection:
-
-- Newly inserted documents are checked for validation.
-
-- Documents already existing in your collection are not checked for
-  validation until they are modified. Specific behavior for existing
-  documents depends on your chosen validation level. To learn more, see
+- All document inserts must match the rules.
+- The schema validation level defines how the rules are applied to
+  existing documents and document updates. To learn more, see
   :ref:`schema-specify-validation-level`.
 
-Adding validation to an existing collection does not enforce validation
-on existing documents. To check a collection for invalid documents, use
-the :dbcommand:`validate` command.
+To find documents in a collection that don't match the schema validation
+rules, see :ref:`use-json-schema-query-conditions-find-documents`.
