+Fixture scopes
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
+Fixtures are created when first requested by a test, and are destroyed based on their ``scope``:
 
+* ``function``: the default scope, the fixture is destroyed at the end of the test.
+* ``class``: the fixture is destroyed during teardown of the last test in the class.
+* ``module``: the fixture is destroyed during teardown of the last test in the module.
+* ``package``: the fixture is destroyed during teardown of the last test in the package.
+* ``session``: the fixture is destroyed at the end of the test session.
 
-In pytest 3.7 the ``package`` scope has been introduced. Package-scoped fixtures
-are finalized when the last test of a *package* finishes.

-    This functionality is considered **experimental** and may be removed in future
