Thanks! We'll have to have a discussion internally to see how we feel about this and if it should be a public document rather than just one in the repository.

Hi! Just checking in on this. I understand you're having an internal discussion about where this documentation should live (repository vs Microsoft Learn). I'm happy to make any adjustments needed based on your decision. Please let me know if there's anything specific you need from me in the meantime. Thanks! |
