 Tortoise ORM provides a simple way to manage transactions. You can use the
 ``atomic()`` decorator or ``in_transaction()`` context manager.
 
-``atomic()`` and ``in_transaction()`` can be nested, and the outermost block will
-be the one that actually commits the transaciton. Tortoise ORM doesn't support savepoints yet.
+``atomic()`` and ``in_transaction()`` can be nested. The inner blocks will create transaction savepoints,
+and if an exception is raised and then caught outside of a nested block, the transaction will be rolled back
+to the state before the block was entered. The outermost block will be the one that actually commits the transaction.
+The savepoints are supported for Postgres, SQLite, MySQL and SQLite.
 
-In most cases ``asyncio.gather`` or similar ways to spin up concurrent tasks can be used safely
-when querying the database or using transactions. Tortoise ORM will ensure that for the duration
-of a query, the database connection is used exclusively by the task that initiated the query.

+When using ``asyncio.gather`` or similar ways to spin up concurrent tasks in a transaction block,
+avoid having nested transaction blocks in the concurrent tasks. Transactions are stateful and nested
+blocks are expected to run sequentially, not concurrently.
