 ## How-TO:
 
-#### 1. Read AnnData File Dataframes
+#### 1. Access AnnData File DataFrames
 
 ##### Basic Reading
 By default, `CapAnnData` does not automatically read any data. To begin working with dataframes, you need to explicitly read the data from the AnnData file. You can read the entire dataframe or select specific columns. For partial reading, provide a list of column names.
 
 ```python
-import h5py
-from cap_anndata import CapAnnData
+from cap_anndata import read_h5ad
 
 file_path = "your_data.h5ad"
-with h5py.File(file_path, 'r') as file:
-    cap_adata = CapAnnData(file)
-
+with read_h5ad(file_path=file_path, edit=False) as cap_adata:
+    # Get the list of all obs columns in AnnData file
+    cap_adata.obs_keys()  # ['a', 'b', 'c']
     # Read all columns of 'obs'
     cap_adata.read_obs()
+    # Get the list of columns of DataFrame in memory
+    cap_adata.obs.columns  # ['a', 'b', 'c']
 
+    # Get the list of all var columns in AnnData file
+    cap_adata.var_keys()  # ['d', 'e', 'f']
     # Read specific columns of 'var'
-    cap_adata.read_var(columns=['gene_expression', 'dispersion'])
-
-    # Read all columns of raw.var
-    cap_adata.read_var(raw=True)
+    cap_adata.read_var(columns=['d'])
+    cap_adata.var.columns  # ['d']
+    # Read additional column
+    cap_adata.read_var(columns=['e'])
+    cap_adata.var.columns  # ['d', 'e']
+
+    # Read column and reset the in-memory DataFrame before that
+    cap_adata.read_var(columns=['f'], reset=True)
+    cap_adata.var.columns  # ['f']
+
+    # Read no columns of raw.var (only the index)
+    cap_adata.raw.read_var(columns=[])
 ```
 
-##### Non-existing columns
+##### Difference between `obs_keys()` and `obs.columns`
+`obs_keys()` returns the list of columns in the on-disc AnnData file, while `obs.columns` returns the list of columns in the in-memory DataFrame. The two lists may differ if you read only specific columns. If you modify the in-memory DataFrame, the `obs_keys()` will reflect the changes. BTW it is recommended to check the `obs_keys()` before the `overwrite()` call to avoid the AnnData file damage.
 
-If a column doesn't exist in the file, no error will be raised but the column will be missing in the resulting Dataframe. So, the list of columns saying more like "try to read this columns from the file". It is needed because we there is no way yet to check if the column exists before the read.
