     Change elements of an array based on conditional and input values.
 
+    Similar to ``dpnp.copyto(a, vals, where=mask)``, the difference is that
+    :obj:`dpnp.place` uses the first N elements of `vals`, where N is
+    the number of ``True`` values in `mask`, while :obj:`dpnp.copyto` uses
+    the elements where `mask` is ``True``.
+
+    Note that :obj:`dpnp.extract` does the exact opposite of :obj:`dpnp.place`.
+
     For full documentation refer to :obj:`numpy.place`.
 
-    Limitations
-    -----------
-    Parameters `x`, `mask` and `vals` are supported either as
-    :class:`dpnp.ndarray` or :class:`dpctl.tensor.usm_ndarray`.
-    Otherwise the function will be executed sequentially on CPU.
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    a : {dpnp.ndarray, usm_ndarray}
+        Array to put data into.
+    mask : {array_like, scalar}
+        Boolean mask array. Must have the same size as `a`.
+    vals : {array_like, scalar}
+        Values to put into `a`. Only the first N elements are used, where N is
+        the number of ``True`` values in `mask`. If `vals` is smaller than N,
+        it will be repeated, and if elements of `a` are to be masked, this
+        sequence must be non-empty.
+
+    See Also
+    --------
+    :obj:`dpnp.copyto` : Copies values from one array to another.
+    :obj:`dpnp.put` : Replaces specified elements of an array with given values.
+    :obj:`dpnp.take` : Take elements from an array along an axis.
+    :obj:`dpnp.extract` : Return the elements of an array that satisfy some
+                         condition.
+

+    --------
