 ==== Force Merge
 
-Phases allowed: warm.
+Phases allowed: hot, warm.
 
 NOTE: Index will be be made read-only when this action is run
 (see: <<dynamic-index-settings,index.blocks.write>>)
 
+NOTE: If the `forcemerge` action is used in the `hot` phase, the `rollover` action *must* be preset.
+ILM validates this predicate and will refuse a policy with a forcemerge in the hot phase without a
+rollover action.

 The Force Merge Action <<indices-forcemerge,force merges>> the index into at
 most a specific number of <<indices-segments,segments>>.
