@josephpracharmsft - Can you respond to the requested changes or let us know if you would like us to commit them?

Also, in the future, could you make these changes in the private repo (windows-driver-docs-pr) instead of here in the public repo (no -=pr at the end)?

Microsoft authors and contributors need to make content contributions through the private repository so the content can be staged and validated by the current validation rules.

Read about authors working in the public repo for more information.

If you need help getting set up to work in the private repo, see Get started contributing to the Microsoft Learn platform.


@Bradben - When the changes are ready for publication, adding a #sign-off comment is the best way to signal that the PR is ready for the review team to merge.
