-The new `go` `telemetry` command should be documented here,
-as well as `GOTELEMETRY` and `GOTELEMETRYDIR` environment variables.
+The new `go` `telemetry` command can be used to view and configure the telemetry collection
+mode. Without arguments, it displays the current mode. With `local`, `on`, or `off`, it sets
+the collection mode. `go` `env` now lists two values: the `GOTELEMETRY` value, which
+contains the telemetry collection mode, and the `GOTELEMETRYDIR` value setting which contains
+the directory telemetry data and configuration are written to.
