+Either "spanning" or "split", to specify how this extension will
+behave if allowed to run in incognito mode.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The default for extensions is "spanning", which means that the extension
+will run in a single shared process. Any events or messages from an incognito
+tab will be sent to the shared process, with an <em>incognito</em> flag
+indicating where it came from. Because incognito tabs cannot use this shared
+process, an extension using the "spanning" incognito mode will not be able to
+load pages from its extension package into the main frame of an incognito tab.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The default for installable web apps is "split",
+which means that all app pages in
+an incognito window will run in their own incognito process. If the app or extension contains a background page, that will also run in the incognito process.
+This incognito process runs along side the regular process, but has a separate
+memory-only cookie store. Each process sees events and messages only from its
+own context (for example, the incognito process will see only incognito tab updates).
+The processes are unable to communicate with each other.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+As a rule of thumb, if your extension or app needs to load a tab in an incognito browser, use
+<em>split</em> incognito behavior. If your extension or app needs to be logged
+into a remote server or persist settings locally, use <em>spanning</em>
+incognito behavior.
+</p>
