I've been looking over the Rogue Class and have been creating a rogue character and I should also mention that I am very new to D&D and character creation. I am however having trouble understanding the Expertise Feature. As I understand it I get to double my proficiencey bonus for two of my skill bonuses or one skill and my theives tools. So for example I am a Strenght modifier of +2 and I am Proficient in Atlethics for a total of +4. If I decide to use Expertise for this skill would I to double my proficiencey bonus and add my strength modifier for a total of +6 all of the time or would it be +6 in certain situations?

It is for all situations. Expertise works unconditionally.
thank you so much I wasn't sure and being a first time player I am still learning how to create characters.
