 ### Upgrade Notes
 
-*   Circuits that do not match the target hardware definition are no longer supported by Qiskit Runtime primitives, unless `channel_strategy="q-ctrl"` is used. See the transpilation documentation ([transpile](/docs/guides/transpile)) for instructions to transform circuits and the primitive examples ([run/primitives-examples](/docs/guides/primitives-examples)) to see this coupled with operator transformations.
