For internal Microsoft contributors, check off these quality control items as you go

  • 1. Check the Acrolinx report: Make sure your Acrolinx Total score is above 80 minimum (higher is better) and with no spelling issues. Acrolinx ensures we are providing consistent terminology and using an appropriate voice and tone, and helps with localization.

  • 2. Successful build with no warnings or suggestions: Review the build status to make sure all files are green (Succeeded).

  • 3. Preview the pages:: Click each Preview URL link to view the rendered HTML pages on the review.learn.microsoft.com site to check the formatting and alignment of the page. Scan the page for overall formatting, and look at the parts you edited in detail.

  • 4. Check the Table of Contents: If you are adding a new markdown file, make sure it is linked from the table of contents.

  • 5. #sign-off to request PR review and merge: Once the pull request is finalized and ready to be merged, indicate so by typing #sign-off in a new comment in the Pull Request. If you need to cancel that sign-off, type #hold-off instead. Signing off means the document can be published at any time. Note, this is a formatting and standards review, not a technical review.

Merge and publish

  • After you #sign-off, there is a separate PR Review team that will review the PR and describe any necessary feedback before merging.
  • The review team will use the comments section in the PR to provide feedback if changes are needed. Address any blocking issues and sign off again to request another review.
  • Once all feedback is resolved, you can #sign-off again. The PR Review team reviews and merges the pull request into the specified branch (usually the main branch or a release- branch).
  • From the main branch, the change is merged into the live branch several times a day to publish it to the public learn.microsoft.com site.

Updated the title and improved clarity in instructions for formatting numeric data and using templates.

The front matter is missing the required ai-usage entry. Add ai-usage: ai-assisted (or ai-usage: ai-generated, as appropriate) to comply with the repo’s AI disclosure guidance for substantially modified Markdown content.

Terminology is inconsistent in this section: the paragraph uses “Out-of-the-box report templates” while the new TIP says “built-in templates.” Pick one term and use it consistently (and align with any established term for the feature in the UI).

Suggested change
Out-of-the-box report templates provide a quick starting point for creating reports. They reduce the time and effort required to build reports from scratch.
Built-in templates provide a quick starting point for creating reports. They reduce the time and effort required to build reports from scratch.

@deepthy-dileep So the bar was not added to the screenshot to obscure sensitive information, but rather is included on the captured screen as part of the footer. Is that correct?

Hi @v-dirichards, hoping we can proceed with merge now that we have confirmation that bar was not censoring sensitive information.
