+Other than the ``save()`` and ``save_m2m()`` methods, a ``ModelForm``
+works exactly the same way as any other ``newforms`` form. For
+example, the ``is_valid()`` method is used to check for validity, the
+``is_multipart()`` method is used to determine whether a form requires
+multipart file upload (and hence whether ``request.FILES`` must be
+passed to the form), etc.; see `the standard newforms documentation`_
+for more information.
