 1. Scatter regions of the specified table, add a `scatter-range` scheduler for the PD and the range is same as the table range.
 
     ```shell
-    curl -X POST http://{TiDBIP}:10080/tables/{db}/{table}/scatter
+    curl http://{TiDBIP}:10080/tables/{db}/{table}/scatter
     ```
+    *Hint: On a partitioned table, use the `table(partition)` pattern as the table name, `test(p1)` for example.*
 
     **Note**: The `scatter-range` scheduler may conflict with the global scheduler, do not use it for long periods on the larger table.
 
 1. Stop scatter the regions, disable the `scatter-range` scheduler for the specified table.
