+
+## Security
+
+Microsoft takes the security of our software products and services seriously, which includes all source code repositories managed through our GitHub organizations, which include [Microsoft](https://github.com/microsoft), [Azure](https://github.com/Azure), [DotNet](https://github.com/dotnet), [AspNet](https://github.com/aspnet), [Xamarin](https://github.com/xamarin), and [our GitHub organizations](https://opensource.microsoft.com/).
+
+If you believe you have found a security vulnerability in any Microsoft-owned repository that meets [Microsoft's definition of a security vulnerability](https://aka.ms/opensource/security/definition), please report it to us as described below.
+
+## Reporting Security Issues
+
+**Please do not report security vulnerabilities through public GitHub issues.**
+
+Instead, please report them to the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) at [https://msrc.microsoft.com/create-report](https://aka.ms/opensource/security/create-report).
+
+If you prefer to submit without logging in, send email to [secure@microsoft.com](mailto:secure@microsoft.com).  If possible, encrypt your message with our PGP key; please download it from the [Microsoft Security Response Center PGP Key page](https://aka.ms/opensource/security/pgpkey).
+
+You should receive a response within 24 hours. If for some reason you do not, please follow up via email to ensure we received your original message. Additional information can be found at [microsoft.com/msrc](https://aka.ms/opensource/security/msrc). 
+
+Please include the requested information listed below (as much as you can provide) to help us better understand the nature and scope of the possible issue:
+
+  * Type of issue (e.g. buffer overflow, SQL injection, cross-site scripting, etc.)
+  * Full paths of source file(s) related to the manifestation of the issue
+  * The location of the affected source code (tag/branch/commit or direct URL)
+  * Any special configuration required to reproduce the issue
+  * Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue
+  * Proof-of-concept or exploit code (if possible)
+  * Impact of the issue, including how an attacker might exploit the issue
+
+This information will help us triage your report more quickly.
+
+If you are reporting for a bug bounty, more complete reports can contribute to a higher bounty award. Please visit our [Microsoft Bug Bounty Program](https://aka.ms/opensource/security/bounty) page for more details about our active programs.
+
+## Preferred Languages
+
+We prefer all communications to be in English.
+
+## Policy
+
+Microsoft follows the principle of [Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure](https://aka.ms/opensource/security/cvd).

 It’s OK to use *big-endian* and *little-endian* in content for a technical audience. *Big-endian* refers to the method of physically storing numbers so that the most significant byte is placed first. *Little-endian* is the opposite.

 Most of the time, avoid talking about UI elements. 
 
-When you need to refer to dialog box elements by name, use *box* instead of *field* to refer to any box except a check box or a list box. For a check box, use the complete term, *check box*. For an element that displays a list, such as a drop-down list box, use *list* instead of *box* for clarity.

+title: Copilot, copilot - Microsoft Style Guide
+description: This topic describes the difference between Microsoft Copilot and generic third-party copilots, and how to refer to the two.

+# Copilot, copilot
+  
+The term *copilot* can be used in a general sense to describe any AI-powered assistant or helper. *Microsoft Copilot* is our first-party tool that uses the power of AI to understand natural language prompts and perform a variety of tasks such as generating content, summarizing information, and organizing data.
+
+**Microsoft Copilot experiences**
+
+On first mention, use *Microsoft Copilot*. For subsequent mentions, it’s OK to use *Copilot*. 
+When using *Copilot* to describe a Microsoft experience, don’t make *Copilot* plural, but you may use it as an adjective describing a plural noun (for example, "Copilot experiences"). Don’t use an article (*a/the*) in front of names that include *Copilot*. Don't use *Copilot/copilot* as a verb.  
+
+**Custom copilot experiences**
+
+Use a lowercase c when referring to a copilot other than Microsoft Copilot, such as a third-party experience created in Copilot Studio that responds to natural language prompts and uses generative AI to help customers complete tasks.  
+
+It’s OK to use *copilots* in the plural to describe these third-party experiences. When you use *copilot* as a noun or adjective to refer generally to third-party experiences, it should be lowercase. It’s OK to use the article *a* with copilot, but not *the*.    
+
+**Examples**  
+Turn your words into a powerful productivity tool with copilot assistance.  
+
+When generating summaries about your document, Copilot will provide references with citations. 
+
+Create AI-powered copilots using Microsoft Copilot Studio.

 Spell out and capitalize the word *Close*. It's OK to use *the* ***Close*** *button* to eliminate ambiguity in content that teaches beginning skills, but for general audiences, just use ***Close***. Use bold for ***Close*** when you're talking about the **Close** button. If you can, use an inline graphic of the button.
 
 **Examples**  
-Select the **Close** button ![](media/close-button/1581618122.png).

+
+**Examples**  
+Use *dark mode* to reduce eye strain. 
+
+Turn on *dark mode* automatically at sunset.

 # dialog box, dialog, dialogue
 
-Most of the time, avoid talking about UI elements. Talk about customer actions instead.
+In general, avoid talking about UI. Instead, talk about what the customer needs to do.
 
-When you need to refer to a dialog box, use *dialog box*—don't shorten to *dialog.* Don't use *pop-up window* or *dialogue box*.
-
-Don't hyphenate *dialog box* as a modifier.
-
-**Examples**  
-Word can't open this document because a dialog box is open. Close the dialog box to continue.  
-Select the **Paragraph** dialog box launcher, and then select **Tabs**.   
-
-**Exception** In content for developers, it's OK to use *dialog* by itself as a modifier. For example, "This article provides information about the dialog form pattern."
-
-It's OK to use *dialogue* (not *dialog*) to refer to conversation or interaction between people or between a person and a computer. But use a more familiar, friendlier term such as *conversation* or *chat* if you can.
-
-**Examples**   
-It's a great way to have a conversation with the customer about what cloud technology can do for their business.  
-Do you want to chat with a customer service agent?
+When you need to refer to a dialog box, use *dialog*. Don't use *pop-up window*, *dialog box*, or *dialogue box*.

 # disable, disabled
 
-Don't use *disabled* to refer to people with disabilities. 
+Don’t use *disable* to describe making a command or function inactive or unavailable. Replace with specific, plain language phrases, such as *turn off*, *hide*, *make unavailable*, *make inactive*, *block*, or *remove*, as appropriate. 
 
-In content for a technical audience, it's OK to use *disable* to mean making a command or function inactive and *disabled* to describe such commands and functions.
+As a state, replace *disabled* with descriptors such as *inactive*, *unavailable*, or *off*. 
 
-In other content, use *turned off* or *isn’t available.*
+When admins turn off products, settings, or features, it’s OK to use *disable*. But substitute terms like *make unavailable* or *block* if you can reasonably do so. 
 
-**Examples**   
+**Example**   
 If the command prompt isn’t available, your network administrator might have turned off this feature.  
-Disable the command prompt to prevent users from opening a command window.

+In product UI, use *On/Off* (not *Enable/Disable*) as labels for a switch that controls the availability of a feature or a capability in the product. Or use more specific pairs of words such as *show/hide*, *add/remove*, or *allow/block*.

-# master/slave, master/subordinate
-
-Don't use *master/slave.* 
-In content for a technical audience, it's OK to substitute *subordinate* for *slave.* 
-
-Use *master/subordinate* as an adjective. Refer to arrangements in which one device controls another as a *master/subordinate arrangement,* or refer to the controlling device as the *master server* and the controlled device as the *subordinate server.* 
-
-When you need to clarify the concept, it's OK to reference the use of *slave* as an adjective by saying *also known as the slave server.* It's OK to use *master server* and *slave server* as synonyms in keyword lists.
-
-Avoid using *slave* as an adjective. Never use *slave* as a noun.
-

+Don't use *primary/subordinate* as a synonym for *parent/child*.

+Spell out on the first mention and include the abbreviation in parentheses immediately following the expanded form. Lowercase the spelled out term.
+
+On subsequent mentions on the same screen or pane, or in the same topic, article or flow, it’s OK to use the abbreviation *OKR*. 
+
+In UI, if the full term cannot be spelled out due to space constraints, it’s OK to abbreviate on the first mention. If possible, use the spelled out term somewhere else within the same flow for context.

 # percent, percentage
 
-One word. Spell out unless space is constrained. When spelling out *percent,* insert a space between the number and the word. 
+Use the percent sign (“%”) with numerals, rather than spelling out “percent.” You don’t need a space between the percent sign and the numeral. 
 
-It's OK to use the percent sign (%):
+**Exceptions**  
+  - Don't use "%" to refer to the symbol itself—refer to the “percent sign.”
+  - Don't use the percent sign at the beginning of a sentence.
+  - Don't use the percent sign to mean "percentage."
 
-  - In data-intensive content, such as tables, charts, and dashboards.
-  - To save space in UI (such as in controls).
-  - As a technical symbol. 
-
-Always use a numeral with *percent,* no matter how small. 
-
-**Examples**  
-At least 50 percent of your system resources should be available.  
-Only 1 percent of the test group was unable to complete the task.   
-
-**Exception**  
-When you use *percent* in column headings to name the rate percent term in the percentage formula (base \* rate percent = percentage), you can use *percent* without a numeral. (See the following examples.)
-
-Use *percentage:* 
-
-  - When you don't specify a quantity, such as in the phrase *a large percentage of system resources.*
-  - When applying the percentage formula (base \* rate percent = percentage)*.*
-
-**Examples**  
-
-| List price | Discount percent | Discount percentage |Sales price|
-|---|---|---|---|
-| $200 | 5% | $10.00 |$190.00|
-
-10.00 USD is the percentage discount calculated by applying a 10 percent discount to a list price of 100.00 USD. $100.00 \* 10% = $10.00. 
-

-# prompt
+# prompt, prompting
 
-Use
-only to describe a signal, which might or might not be a
-message, that an app or the operating system is waiting for the customer
-to take some action. In general, restrict the use of *prompt* as a noun to the command prompt.
+The process of instructing an AI to do a task is called *prompting*. We tell the AI a set of instructions (the prompt) and it performs the task. Prompts can be as simple as a question, or as complex as context, instructions, and multiple examples. Prompts can contain prompts, sometimes referred to as prompt chaining.
 
-Use as a verb to describe the act of requesting information or an action from the customer.
+**Guidelines**
 
-**Examples**  
-If you see a message that more information is needed ....  
-When you run Setup, you're prompted to select settings and file locations.
+Focus on outcomes: Tell the user how to describe what they want to achieve their desired results, and include clear, relevant examples. 
+
+Avoid using *prompt* as a noun within product UI, as in "Write your prompt." Instead, use request as in "Try a different request."
+
+Avoid using *prompt* as a noun phrase, as in "prompt field."
+
+Do not use *prompt* as a verb, as in "Then prompt Copilot to write your reply." 
+
+**Learn prompting**  
+If you want quality outputs, you need fine-tuned prompts.

+# see, see also, and similar phrases
+
+Phrases like *see*, *see also*, *view*, *view all*, and *watch it later* are fine to use from an inclusive design perspective, as long as they're being used in contexts that otherwise support accessibility. The problem is when we use that language and then fail to provide a way for the person to consume the content.

 # Accessibility terms
 
-Write in a way that puts people first by using the phrase *person with* or *person who.*
+In general, use people-first language (refer first to the person, followed by the disability). To ensure clarity and consistency, this should be the default unless you know a specific audience prefers otherwise. 
 
-Don’t use language that defines people by their disability, such as *disabled, impaired,* and *the deaf.* A person might have a visual impairment, but that person isn’t impaired.
+In some cases, however, identity-first language can be used, because some people and communities take pride in recognizing their disability as an integral part of their identity and feel that person-first language is marginalizing. Always make an effort to know the preferences expressed by a person with a disability or a disability community and defer to these.
 
-**Examples**<br /> 
-Person with visual impairment, person who is blind<br /> 
-Person with hearing loss, person with deafness<br /> 
-Person who is nonverbal, person who uses sign language<br /> 
-Person who uses a wheelchair<br /> 
-Person with a prosthetic limb, person without a limb<br /> 
-Person with autism<br /> 
-Person of small stature<br /> 
+In all cases, don’t use language that has offensive or insensitive connotations, such as *maimed* or *impaired*.
 
-If necessary, use the following terms to describe people with disabilities or the disabilities themselves.
+The following table lists examples of people-first language (preferred), identity-first language (acceptable, context-dependent), and offensive or insensitive language (never allowed).
 
-For an overview of Microsoft accessibility policies, see [Accessibility guidelines and requirements](~/accessibility/accessibility-guidelines-requirements.md).

-To learn more about writing that conveys respect to all people and promotes equal opportunities, see the [Guidelines for Inclusive Language](https://www.linguisticsociety.org/content/guidelines-inclusive-language "Linguistic Society of America's guidelines for inclusive language") from the Linguistic Society of America.

When it's necessary to talk about the technology itself—such as in content for developers or in event presentations, or to make it clear that the customer is chatting with a bot, not a person—use the terms below.

Always include *AM* and *PM*. <br /><br />Include the time zone if you're discussing an event that customers beyond the local time zone might see or attend. <br /><br />In text, use *to* in a range of times.<br />**Example** <br />10:00 AM to 2:00 PM <br /><br />In a schedule or listing, use an en dash with no spaces around it. <br />**Example** <br />10:00 AM–2:00 PM<br /><br />**Exception**<br />In a date range that includes two times and two dates, add spaces around the en dash. Lead with whatever is most important to the customer within the context: time of day or date. <br />**Examples**<br />2:15 AM–4:45 PM 4/1/16 (time range on a single day)<br />12/1/17 2:15 PM – 4/1/18 4:45 PM (time plus date range)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
 | **Time zones: Eastern Time, Central Time, Mountain Time, Pacific Time, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)** | Capitalize time zones. Don't abbreviate unless space is severely limited. If you must abbreviate, use *ET, CT, MT,* and *PT*.<br /><br />Don't specify *standard time or daylight saving time* unless you're providing information about a specific event where that information matters.<br /><br />If you're referring to a time zone as a geographical area, call it a zone. <br />**Example** <br />in the Pacific Time zone  <br /><br />Not all time zones have names, and some time-zone names are used in more than one geographical area. If you're talking about a particular place, clarify the country or reference Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Don't include spaces around the plus sign (+) or hyphen (-).<br />**Examples**<br />Eastern Time (UTC-5)<br />Eastern Time (UTC+10)<br />Eastern Time (Australia)<br /><br />For time zones without names, refer to the offset from Coordinated Universal Time. <br />**Example** <br />UTC+7<br /><br />Don't abbreviate *Coordinated Universal Time* in text unless space is severely limited. Use *UTC,* never *CUT*. (It's OK to use UTC in references to a specific time zone, such as *UTC+7*.) Don't use *Universal Time Coordinate or Universal Time Coordinated*.<br /><br />Don't use *Greenwich Mean Time* or *GMT* by itself unless you have no other choice. Use *Coordinated Universal Time* instead. On the first mention, it's OK to refer to *Coordinated Universal Time (Greenwich Mean Time)*. |

Use *keyboard shortcut* instead. <br /><br />In content for developers or content about customizing the UI, it's OK to distinguish between an *access key* and a *shortcut key*. An access key is a letter or number that users select to access UI controls that have text labels. For example, the *F* in Alt+F. A shortcut key is a key or key combination that users select to perform a common action. For example, Ctrl+V. If you use these terms, explain the difference.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |

 # worldwide vs. international
 
-Use *worldwide* to describe something that encompasses all regions or involves the entire world.
+Use *worldwide* to describe something that encompasses all regions or involves the entire world. It's OK to use *global* to mean *worldwide*. 
 
 **Examples**  
 Get one month of free, worldwide calling.   
 OneNote Mobile for Android is now available in more than 20 markets worldwide.
+Ensuring global acceptability in the usability of our products along with local relevance (world readiness). 
 
-Use *international* to describe something that:
 
-  - Involves two or more countries or regions.
-  - Crosses national boundaries.
-
-**Example**  
-International
-Fonts and Text Display provides platform support for international
-fonts and text to meet the typography needs of Windows customers
-worldwide.
+Don't use *international* in the context of something that encompasses the entire world as it can imply a US-centric worldview. 
 
 Don’t use *international* to mean “outside the United States.” Instead, refer to a specific region or use wording that describes what you mean.

This section might also provide usage syntax. If the technology can be used with multiple programming languages, provide syntax for each language. <br />**Example**<br />`Record.MoveRecord (Source, Destination, UserName, Password, Options, Async)`                                                                                               |
 |       **Parameters**       | If the element has parameters, provide a description of each parameter and its data type. If appropriate, indicate whether the parameter is required or optional and whether it represents input or output. Provide as much useful detail as possible. Don't just repeat the words in the parameter name or the data type.<br />**Examples**<br />*Source*<br />Optional. A **String** value that contains a URL identifying the **Record** to be moved. If *Source* is omitted or specifies an empty string, the object represented by this **Record** is moved. For example, if the **Record** represents a file, the contents of the file are moved to the location specified by *Destination.*<br /><br />*Destination*<br />Optional. A **String** value that contains a URL specifying the location where *Source* will be moved.<br /><br />*UserName*<br />Optional. A **String** value that contains the user ID that, if needed, authorizes access to *Destination.*<br /><br />*Password*<br />Optional. A **String** that contains the password that, if needed, verifies *UserName.*<br /><br />*Options*<br />Optional. A **MoveRecordOptionsEnum** value whose default value is **adMoveUnspecified**. Specifies the behavior of this method.<br /><br />*Async*<br />Optional. A **Boolean** value that, when **True**, specifies this operation should be asynchronous.                                                             |

If the value is a Boolean that indicates the presence of a condition, describe the condition. <br />**Example**<br />A **String** value. Typically, the value of *Destination* is returned. However, the exact value returned is provider-dependent.                                                                                                                                                                              |

+by focusing the discussion on the reader. Omit *you can* whenever the sentence works without it.
+
+In product UI, avoid using you and your in ways that sound like we're commanding people to do something rather than providing options for them to make their own choices.
+
+However, when AI-generated content is used, we should use past tense (to express action done behind the scenes) by explicitly saying “for you” or by using words that convey uncertainty or subjectivity (to express that a judgment was applied that may or may not be correct).<br />
+
+**Examples**  
+Check if you have local admin rights.
+
+Depending on your choice, some features may be turned off by default. 
+
+Change your settings
+
+Suggested for you
+
+
+## Use singular first-person pronouns sparingly (I, me, my)
+
+In first person, you write as though you’re speaking from the reader’s point of view. Marketing and support documentation should never use first person singular. However, it may be used inside our product experiences. 
+First-person singular pronouns can be used in product UI to show someone’s control over an action in checkbox, button, or toggle labels.<br />
+
 **Examples**  
-Create your own unique Lumia experience.  
-You can set advanced options later if you need them. 
+Notify me when a new Bluetooth device tries to connect to my computer
+
+Remember my password
 
-## Use first person sparingly
+I agree to the terms of service
 
-Use first person (usually *I* or *me*) only when you need to write from the point of view of the customer.<br />
-**Example**  
-Alert me when a new Bluetooth device tries to connect to my computer. (check box text)
+**Exception** In rare cases, it’s OK to use “my” in navigation or filter labels if you need to distinguish a person’s content from other content that may be presented in the same visual space.

 **Exception** Cortana is a persona, so the use of *I* is appropriate. 
 
-## Avoid first-person plural
+## Avoid plural first person (we, us)
+
+First-person plural, which often uses the pronoun *we,* can feel like a daunting corporate presence—the opposite of Microsoft's modern voice. It's OK to use phrasing like *we recommend* if it helps you avoid awkward phrasing like *it's recommended,* but write around it if you can. Try to keep the focus on the customer, not Microsoft.

+# Militaristic language
+
+Avoid using terms associated with violence and military actions unless you are referring to physical combat operations.  
+
+In the context of cybersecurity at Microsoft, use the following recommendations in the table of militaristic terms. 
+
+
+|         **Use this**                       |                   **Not this**              |
+|----------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|
+|       address; protect against; respond to       |   combat; fight; eliminate               |
+| cyberattack chain   | (cyber) kill chain  |
+|      cyberattacker; bad actor; threat actor        |     attacker; adversary     |
+|     impact    |   blast radius   |
+|   multilayered approach; defense-in-depth cybersecurity    |   defense-in-depth approach     |
+| protect; safeguard; defend  |   guard; ward    |
+| secured  |   locked down   |
+| security; protection; defense  |   fortifications; first line of defense; frontlines    |
+| security teams; security analysts; defenders  |   frontline analysts    |
+| vulnerabilities; points of access; external exposure  |   external attack surface    |
+
+
+**Attack** 
+It’s ok to use *attack* if there’s context in front of it describing what kind of attack it is. For example, say, *Early detection is critical to preventing damage from malware attacks* instead of *Get protection from sophisticated attacks*. 
+
+If there’s no context before attack that describes what kind of attack it is, add *cyber*- in front of threat so it reads *cyberattack*, all one word, no space, no hyphen.  
+
+**Example**  
+Uncover and defend against advanced cyberattacks across your entire digital estate. 
+
+**Defend, defense, and defenses**
+It’s ok to use *defend* and *defenses* if there’s context in the same sentence that makes it clear they’re referring to cybersecurity. 
+
+**Examples**  
+Learn how to defend your cloud and on-premises workloads. 
+Extend your defenses across endpoints and clouds with Microsoft Security. 
+
+**External attack surface**
+It’s ok to use this phrase when discussing external attack surface management, external attack surface management capabilities, or the product Microsoft Defender External Attack Surface Management. 
+
+Don’t use the phrase *external attack surface* when referring to a customer’s points of access that are potentially vulnerable to an attack. Use *vulnerabilities*, *points of access*, or *external exposure* instead. 
+
+**Threat**
+It’s ok to use *threat* if there’s context in front of it describing what kind of threat it is.   
+
+**Example**  
+Explore an integrated identity threat and response solution.  
+
+If there’s no context before *threat* that describes what kind of threat it is, add *cyber*- in front of threat so it reads *cyberthreat*, all one word no space no hyphen. 
+
+**Example**  
+Identify and remediate cyberthreats in the cloud and on-premises. 
+
+**Threat intelligence**
+It’s ok to use *threat intelligence* if the surrounding context makes it clear it’s related to cybersecurity. Don’t shorten to *threat intel*.  
+
+**Example**  
+Get actionable insights into new and emerging cyberthreats with dynamic threat intelligence. 
+
+**Never use**
+These terms are overtly militaristic and should never be used in the context of cybersecurity at Microsoft (though they may be used to refer to physical combat operations): 
+
+air cover  
+bomb, email bomb, mail bomb, time bomb  
+enemy, enemies, enemy lines  
+go on the offensive  
+invade, invasion  
+missile, torpedo  
+nuke, go nuclear  
+strike  
+troops

-# Illustrating network traffic flows
-
-When
-you need to create a graphical representation of network traffic
-using industry or proprietary protocols, follow these guidelines.
-Always include a legend that explains the visual conventions.
-
-## Use colors carefully
-
-Use
-a consistent color, such as white, gray, or a light accent color,
-for important elements in the network diagram. Accentuate with
-additional colors. Text, graphics, and lines
-should contrast with the background to support people with limited
-vision.
-
-## Use consistent text formatting
-
-Use sentence-style capitalization. To learn more, see [Capitalization](~/capitalization.md).
-
-## Represent communication with arrows, lines, and labels
-
-**Use arrows to indicate which computer initiates communication.**
-Use a single-headed arrow to indicate a single initiator of
-communication. Use a double-headed arrow to indicate that the
-computer shown at either end of the arrow can initiate
-communication. 
-
-With both types of arrows, subsequent communication is two-way.
-
-![](media/illustrating-network-traffic-flows/589503366.PNG)<br /><br />
-
-**Use line styles to distinguish different traffic flows.** Choose line colors that contrast with the image background 
-and are distinct when printed or viewed in black and white.
-
-![](media/illustrating-network-traffic-flows/1252879060.png)<br /><br />
-
-**Label specific network traffic.** If possible, overlay the label onto the line: 
-

-
-Otherwise, add the label as a callout:

-
-## Represent security boundaries with solid vertical lines
-
-Use
-a solid vertical line to indicate a security boundary. Draw lines
-that indicate network traffic flow across the vertical line. This
-example shows firewalled and partitioned networks in Microsoft

-## Use standard network traffic syntax
-
-Use the following syntax to create the label for the network traffic flow:
-
-*SUBSUBPROT/SUBPROT/PROT/TCP SourceRange-\>DestRange,UDP SourceRange-\>DestRange*
-
-**SUBSUBPROT/SUBPROT/PROT** List
-the protocols using their standard industry acronym or name, from the
-highest in the protocol stack to the lowest. For example,
-XMPP/MTLS. 
-
-**"/TCP," "/UDP," or "/TCP\&UDP"** Indicate
-whether the following ports are for TCP traffic, UDP traffic,
-or a combination of TCP and UDP traffic ("/TCP *SourceRange*-\>*DestRange*,UDP *SourceRange*-\>*DestRange"*). If
-both TCP and UDP use the same set of ports, use "/TCP\&UDP."
-You can omit "/TCP" if the traffic is known to be TCP traffic only.
-UDP traffic must be indicated with "/UDP *SourceRange*-\>*DestRange."*
-
-**SourceRange-\>DestRange** Use the *SourceRange* and *DestRange*
-values to indicate the source and destination ports for TCP or UDP
-traffic. There can be multiple sets of source and
-destination ranges. For four-digit and five-digit port numbers,
-omit the comma separating the thousands. For example, use "41239,"
-not "41,239." *SourceRange* and *DestRange*
-can be a single TCP or UDP port, a port range, multiple
-individual ports, multiple ranges, or a combination of individual
-ports and port ranges (each separated by a comma) in the order in
-which they’re used. You can omit port numbers if they're
-known. Use "dyn" to indicate dynamically allocated source ports
-(also known as "ephemeral ports"). Omit "dyn-\>" if the initiator
-uses only dynamic ports.

 # Formatting titles
 
-Follow these conventions for formatting titles.
+In general, use sentence-style casing (that is, only capitalize the first word of a title, like at the beginning of a sentence), as this makes content more readable and ensures better localizability. 
 
-**See also** [Capitalization](~/capitalization.md), [Headings](~/scannable-content/headings.md)
+Use bold font instead of italics for titles to enhance readability and accessibility.  
+
+There are some notable exceptions to sentence-casing. These include: 
+
++ The titles of books (including e-books), white papers, and reports: 
+
+**Unraveling HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript**
+
+**Backup and Recovery Overview for Azure Customers**
+
++ Games: 
+
+Some of the top games on Microsoft Store include **Sea of Thieves 2023 Edition** and **Stardew Valley**. 
 
-| **Titles** | **Convention** | **Example** |
-|---|---|--|
-| **Games** | Title-style capitalization. Italic. | *Halo: Reach* |
-| **Books** | Title-style capitalization. Italic in body text, citations, and other text references. | Check out _Unraveling HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript_ (in body text) <br /> Minecraft: The Complete Handbook Collection (in a heading) |
-| **Chapters and sections of books** | Usually sentence-style capitalization. Enclose in quotation marks. | See Chapter 9, "Extending forms." <br /> See “Managing your contacts” |
-| **White papers** | Title-style capitalization. | Backup and Recovery Overview for Azure Customers <br /> Advanced Analytics with Power BI <br />The Evolution of Malware Prevention |
-| **Song titles** | Title-style capitalization. In citations, enclose song titles in quotation marks and italicize album titles. | Run the World (Girls) <br /> Everything Is Awesome <br /> Shut Up and Dance |
-| **Blog titles** | Title-style capitalization. In references, don't enclose the title in quotation marks. | Microsoft on the Issues <br /> The Official Microsoft Blog <br /> Welcome to This Week on Windows, where we bring you the latest in Windows news, apps, and tips from experts here at Microsoft. |
-| **Titles of blog posts, web articles, and press releases** | Sentence-style capitalization. It's OK to use title-style capitalization to highlight a blog or article title in a tweet.
