+Previously, the only pod scheduling parameter that could be overriden was `priorityClassName`. This was done by adding the `operatorframework.io/priorityclass` annotation to the `CatalogSource` object. For example:
+
+[source,yaml,subs="attributes+"]
+----
+apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1
+kind: CatalogSource
+metadata:
+  name: example-catalog
+  namespace: namespace: {global_ns}
+  annotations:
+    operatorframework.io/priorityclass: system-cluster-critical
+----
+
+If a `CatalogSource` object defines both the annotation and `spec.grpcPodConfig.priorityClassName`, the annotation takes precedence over the configuration parameter.

+
+When an Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) catalog source of source type `grpc` defines a `spec.image`, the Catalog Operator creates a pod that serves the defined image content. By default, this pod defines the following in its spec:
+
+* Only the `kubernetes.io/os=linux` node selector
+* No priority class name
+* No tolerations
+
+As an administrator, you can override these values by modifying fields in the `CatalogSource` object's optional `spec.grpcPodConfig` section.
