**What changes did you make? (Give an overview)**
This updates a few examples to use the newer string value for configuring the severity of rule warnings. There are more instances of using the older numerical value, but I left these because they're intentionally being used to illustrate that those values are valid and still work.

**Is there anything you'd like reviewers to focus on?**
Nothing in particular!

+To configure global variables inside of a configuration file, set the `globals` configuration property to an object containing keys named for each of the global variables you want to use. For each global variable key, set the corresponding value equal to `"writeable"` to allow the variable to be overwritten or `"readable"` to disallow overwriting. For example:
 
 ```json
 {
     "globals": {
-        "var1": true,
-        "var2": false
+        "var1": "writeable",
+        "var2": "readable"
     }
 }

 ```yaml
 ---
   globals:
-    var1: true
-    var2: false
+    var1: writeable
+    var2: readable
 ```
 
 These examples allow `var1` to be overwritten in your code, but disallow it for `var2`.
 
+Globals can be disabled with the string `"off"`. For example, in an environment where most ES2015 globals are available but `Promise` is unavailable, you might use this config:
+
+```json
+{
+    "env": {
+        "es6": true
+    },
+    "globals": {
+        "Promise": "off"
+    }
+}
+```
+
+For historical reasons, the boolean values `false` and `true` can also be used to configure globals, and are equivalent to `"readable"` and `"writeable"`, respectively. However, this usage of booleans is deprecated.
+
 **Note:** Enable the [no-global-assign](../rules/no-global-assign.md) rule to disallow modifications to read-only global variables in your code.
