Observation time is not publication time, and a comparison does not establish an effective date. Full source bodies are not published; this page holds generated summaries, section headings and, as the page's license allows, Microsoft's changed wording. A documentation edit does not confirm feature availability in an environment.

Microsoft's edits
History on GitHubCommits to the page's source in MicrosoftDocs/SupportArticles-docs, with Microsoft's own messages. Commit dates can be hours or days before Learn publishes the change. ChangeIntel keeps a copy of each diff, so an edit stays readable here if GitHub stops serving it. Read 19 Oct 23:40 UTC.
The page Learn serves was built from a commit that is not in this list: the public copy may lag the repository Microsoft publishes from, or the change came through a shared include.
