+### Azure DevOps remote index support
+
+Azure DevOps now supports remote indexes for IDE workspaces that are linked to Azure DevOps repos. This enables #codebase to search for relevant snippets almost instantly without any initialization. This even works for larger repos with tens of thousands of indexable files. Support for remote workspaces has released starting with the July updates to Visual Studio  and VS Code. For more info please see the [VS Code Release Notes](https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_103#_azure-devops-repos-remote-index-support). 
+
+Remote indexes are used automatically when working in a workspace that is linked to Azure DevOps through git. Make sure you are also logged into Visual Studio or VS Code  with the Microsoft account you use to access the Azure DevOps repo.
