      * The `sanitizer` option configures the function used to sanitize HTML before it is written to the DOM.
-     * Whenever Handsontable sets HTML (e.g. cell content, headers, context menu labels, dialog content,
-     * paste from clipboard), it can pass the string through this function first. Sanitization is important
-     * when content comes from users or external sources to prevent XSS (e.g. script injection, event handlers).
+     * Sanitization is important when content comes from users or external sources to prevent XSS
+     * (e.g. script injection, event handlers).
      *
      * By default (when no sanitizer is set), HTML is applied as-is (pass-through). You are responsible for
      * XSS protection. Set a sanitizer when you need to allow rich content while stripping or neutralizing
      * dangerous markup.
      *
-     * The function receives the raw HTML string and an optional second argument (source) indicating where
-     * the content is used (e.g. `'innerHTML'`, `'CopyPaste.paste'`), so you can apply different rules per source.
+     * The sanitizer covers the HTML that Handsontable writes on your behalf:
+     *
+     * - cells rendered by the [`password`](@/guides/cell-types/password-cell-type/password-cell-type.md) cell type
+     * - column and row headers, including [`nestedHeaders`](#nestedheaders) labels
+     * - [context menu](#contextmenu) and [dropdown menu](#dropdownmenu) item labels
+     * - [`select`](@/api/options.md#selectoptions) editor options
+     * - [dialog](#dialog) and [notification](#notification) content
+     * - HTML pasted from the clipboard, and Handsontable's own clipboard payload carrying the source
+     *   data behind copied cells
+     *
+     * Two surfaces are deliberately excluded, because both exist to render raw markup you supply:
+     * the [`html`](@/guides/cell-types/cell-type/cell-type.md) cell type, and
+     * [`allowHtml`](#allowhtml) sources in `autocomplete` and `dropdown` cells. Sanitize that content
+     * yourself before passing it to the grid.
+     *
+     * The function receives the raw HTML string and a second argument (source) naming the write surface
+     * (`'header'`, `'password'`, `'contextMenu'`, `'selectEditor'`, `'dialog'`, `'notification'`,
+     * `'CopyPaste.paste'`, `'CopyPaste.paste.sourceData'`), so you can apply different rules per source.
      * It must return a string that is safe to assign to `innerHTML`.
      *
+     * In TypeScript, annotate that parameter with the exported `SanitizerContext` type
+     * (see [TypeScript types](@/guides/tools-and-building/typescript-types/typescript-types.md))
+     * to get editor completion on the values above.
+     *
+     * `'CopyPaste.paste.sourceData'` carries Handsontable's own clipboard payload, the one that lets an
+     * object-valued cell survive a copy between grids. It is parsed into an inert document, so returning it
+     * unchanged does not expose you to a crafted clipboard, and doing so is what keeps
+     * [`parsePastedValue`](#parsepastedvalue) working under a sanitizer that escapes HTML rather than
+     * stripping it.
+     *
      * This option is only respected when set in the table settings. It does not work when defined per column
      * or per cell (e.g. in `columns` or cell meta).
      *
+     * This option can only be set at the [grid level](@/guides/getting-started/configuration-options/configuration-options.md#set-grid-options).
