 Since deciding whether or not a user is authorized to perform a certain
 action can be a complicated process, the standard :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Security\\Core\\Authorization\\AccessDecisionManager`
 itself depends on multiple voters, and makes a final verdict based on all
-the votes (either positive, negative or neutral) it has received. It
-recognizes several strategies:
-
-``affirmative`` (default)
-    grant access as soon as there is one voter granting access;
-
-``consensus``
-    grant access if there are more voters granting access than there are denying;
-
-``unanimous``
-    only grant access if none of the voters has denied access. If all voters
-    abstained from voting, the decision is based on the ``allow_if_all_abstain``
-    config option (which defaults to ``false``).
-
-``priority``
-    grants or denies access by the first voter that does not abstain;

+Strategies
+----------
+
+.. versionadded:: 5.4
+
+    The strategy classes were introduced in Symfony 5.4. In earlier versions, the strategy was passed as a string.
+
+The following strategies are bundled with the component:
+
+``AffirmativeStrategy`` (default)
+    grant access as soon as there is one voter granting access;
+
+``ConsensusStrategy``
+    grant access if there are more voters granting access than there are denying;
+    if there is a draw between votes, the decision is made based on the
+    ``$allowIfEqualGrantedDeniedDecisions`` constructor parameter which defaults to ``true``.
+
+``UnanimousStrategy``
+    only grant access if none of the voters has denied access.
+
+``PriorityStrategy``
+    grants or denies access by the first voter that does not abstain;
+
+    .. versionadded:: 5.1
+
+        The "priority" version strategy was introduced in Symfony 5.1.
+
+If all voters abstained from voting, the decision is based on the ``$allowIfAllAbstainDecisions``
+constructor parameter which is supported by all of the built-in strategies and defaults to ``false``.
+
+If none of the built-in strategies seem to fit, a custom strategy may be provided. The strategy will
+receive a stream of votes and may return as soon as it has seen enough votes to come to a conclusion.
