@cinnamon-msft @cyz This course doesn't read like a course, but more as a shortened version of the docs. Is this the intent of the Learn content? I would be expecting hands-on guided content, as indicated on the Learn home page.
- Re-indent nested MCP prompt code block to render inside the numbered step - Match exact tool sets command label (Chat: Configure Tool Sets > Create new tool sets file) - Correct Configure Tools guidance to documented behavior - Add Copilot Pro+ requirement for local Codex sessions
