 - [Tileset service].
 Use the Tileset service to create a vector-based representation of a dataset. Applications can use a tileset to present a visual tile-based view of the dataset.
 - [Custom styling service]. Use the [style] service or [visual style editor] to customize the visual elements of an indoor map.
-- [Feature State service]. Use the Feature State service to support dynamic map styling. Applications can use dynamic map styling to reflect real-time events on spaces provided by the IoT system.
 - [Wayfinding service]. Use the [wayfinding] API to generate a path between two points within a facility. Use the [routeset] API to create the data that the wayfinding service needs to generate paths.
 
 ### Datasets
 
-A dataset is a collection of indoor map features. The indoor map features represent facilities that are defined in a converted drawing package. After you create a dataset with the [Dataset service], you can create any number of [tilesets] or [feature statesets].

 At any time, developers can use the [Dataset service] to add or remove facilities to an existing dataset. For more information about how to update an existing dataset using the API, see the append options in [Dataset service]. For an example of how to update a dataset, see [Data maintenance].

-### Feature statesets
-
-Feature statesets are collections of dynamic properties (*states*) that are assigned to dataset features, such as rooms or equipment. An example of a *state* can be temperature or occupancy. Each *state* is a key/value pair that contains the name of the property, the value, and the timestamp of the last update.
-
-You can use the [Feature State service] to create and manage a feature stateset for a dataset. The stateset is defined by one or more *states*. Each feature, such as a room, can have one *state* attached to it.
-
-The value of each *state* in a stateset is updated or retrieved by IoT devices or other applications. For example, using the [Feature State Update API], devices measuring space occupancy can systematically post the state change of a room.
-
-An application can use a feature stateset to dynamically render features in a facility according to their current state and respective map style. For more information about using feature statesets to style features in a rendering map, see [Indoor Maps module].

->[!NOTE]
->Like tilesets, changing a dataset doesn't affect the existing feature stateset, and deleting a feature stateset doesn't affect the dataset to which it's attached.

 ### Wayfinding (preview)
 
 The [Wayfinding service] enables you to provide your customers with the shortest path between two points within a facility. Once you've imported your indoor map data and created your dataset, you can use that to create a [routeset]. The routeset provides the data required to generate paths between two points. The wayfinding service takes into account things such as the minimum width of openings and can optionally exclude elevators or stairs when navigating between levels as a result.

 ### Indoor Maps module
 
 The [Azure Maps Web SDK] includes the Indoor Maps module. This module offers extended functionalities to the Azure Maps *Map Control* library. The Indoor Maps module renders indoor maps created in Creator. It integrates widgets such as *floor picker* that help users to visualize the different floors.
 
 You can use the Indoor Maps module to create web applications that integrate indoor map data with other [Azure Maps services]. The most common application setups include adding knowledge from other maps - such as road, imagery, weather, and transit - to indoor maps.
 
-The Indoor Maps module also supports dynamic map styling. For a step-by-step walkthrough to implement feature stateset dynamic styling in an application, see [Use the Indoor Map module].
+The Indoor Maps module also supports dynamic map styling for more information, see [Enhance your indoor maps with real-time map feature styling].
 
 ### Azure Maps integration
 
 As you begin to develop solutions for indoor maps, you can discover ways to integrate existing Azure Maps capabilities. For example, you can implement asset tracking or safety scenarios by using the [Geofence service] with Creator indoor maps. For example, you can use the Geofence API to determine whether a worker enters or leaves specific indoor areas. For more information about how to connect Azure Maps with IoT telemetry, see [Tutorial: Implement IoT spatial analytics by using Azure Maps].
 
 ### Data maintenance
 
- You can use the Azure Maps Creator List, Update, and Delete API to list, update, and delete your datasets, tilesets, and feature statesets.

 >When you review a list of items to determine whether to delete them, consider the impact of that deletion on all dependent API or applications. For example, if you delete a tileset that's being used by an application by means of the [Render - Get Map Tile] API, the application fails to render that tileset.
