 ### Dynamically Sampling Error Events
 
-To sample error events dynamically, set the <PlatformIdentifier name="error-sampler" /> to a function that returns the desired sample rate for the event. The <PlatformIdentifier name="error-sampler" /> takes two arguments, <PlatformIdentifier name="event" /> and <PlatformIdentifier name="hint" />, which it uses to inform the sampling decision.
