Use active voice for more direct communication.

The passive construction "can be found" is less direct than active voice.

Consider fronting the goal for clearer instruction.

The current phrasing fronts the condition rather than the action. For clearer, more direct instruction, front the goal.

✏️ Proposed refactor
-- When using `_abort_if_unique_id_configured()` use it with the parameter `reload_on_update=False`
+- Set the parameter `reload_on_update=False` when using `_abort_if_unique_id_configured()`

As per coding guidelines: For instructional content in documentation, use a direct and authoritative tone. Avoid expressions of politeness such as 'may' or 'please', and ensure the goal of the instruction is fronted.
