       - question: Is there a policy or a feature to prevent users copying data or code from the Dev Box to their laptop using the clipboard? 
         answer: You can prevent users copying data or code from the Dev Box to their local machine by disabling the clipboard redirection feature in the RDP client. You can manage this setting through a device configuration policy in Microsoft Intune. For more information, see [RDP device redirection settings](/windows-365/enterprise/manage-rdp-device-redirections#rdp-device-redirection-settings).

-    questions:
-      - question: What is quota?
-        answer: |
-                To ensure that resources are available for customers, Microsoft Dev Box has a limit on the number of each type of resource that can be used in a subscription. This limit is called a quota.  
-                There are different types of quota that you can encounter in the Developer portal and Azure portal, such as quota for:  
-                - Dev Box vCPU (This is a quota error you'll encounter in devportal.microsoft.com during dev box creation) 
-
-                Or, for Azure portal resource limits:  
-                - Dev Centers 
-                - Network connections 
-                - Dev Box Definitions 
-      
-      - question: What should I do if I hit a vCPU quota error?  
-        answer: |
-                If you are in the developer portal, you might see a *QuotaExceeded* error during dev box creation. 
-                If you see this error, contact your administrator for assistance to increase this quota. You can point them to the documentation on [requesting a quota limit](/azure/dev-box/how-to-request-quota-increase). 
-                If your admin can't increase the quota limit at this time, try selecting another pool with a region close to your location.  
-                
-      - question: How can I check my Dev Box quota?
-        answer: |
-                You can check your Dev Box quota using either: 
-                - REST API - [Usages - List By Location - REST API (Azure Dev Center) | Microsoft Learn](/rest/api/devcenter/administrator/usages/list-by-location?tabs=HTTP)

-  - name: Dev Box hibernation
-    questions:
-      - question: Can I use auto-stop schedules to hibernate Dev Boxes on a schedule? # Question.
-        answer: 
-          The ability to use auto-stop schedules to initiate hibernation is in Preview.
-
-      - question: I enabled hibernation on a Dev Box definition, but my Dev Box definition reports that hibernation couldn't be enabled. # Question.
-        answer: |
-          - We recommend using the Visual Studio for Dev Box marketplace images, either directly, or as base images for generating your custom image.
-          - The Windows + OS optimizations image contains optimized power settings, and they can't be used with hibernation.  
-          - If you're using a custom Azure Compute Gallery image, enable hibernation on your Azure Compute Gallery image before enabling hibernation on your Dev Box definition.
-          - If hibernation can't be enabled on the definition even after you enable it on your gallery image, your custom image likely has a Windows configuration that prevents hibernation. 
 
-            For more information, see [Settings not compatible with hibernation](how-to-configure-dev-box-hibernation.md#settings-not-compatible-with-hibernation).

 ## Disable hibernation on a dev box definition
 
 If you have issues provisioning new VMs after you enable hibernation on a pool, you can disable hibernation on the dev box definition. You can also disable hibernation when you want to revert the setting to only shutdown dev boxes.

 # Determine resource usage and quota for Microsoft Dev Box  
 
-To ensure that resources are available for customers, Microsoft Dev Box has a limit on the number of each type of resource that can be used in a subscription. This limit is called a _quota_. 
+To ensure that resources are available for customers, Microsoft Dev Box has a limit on the number of each type of resource that can be used in a subscription. This limit is called a quota.  There are different types of quota related to Dev Box that you might see in the Developer portal and Azure portal, such as quota for Dev Box vCPU for box creation as well as portal resource limits for Dev Centers, network connections, and Dev Box Definitions.
 
 Keeping track of how your quota of virtual machine cores is being used across your subscriptions can be difficult. You might want to know what your current usage is, how much is remaining, and in what regions you have capacity. To help you understand where and how you're using your quota, Azure provides the **Usage + Quotas** page in the Azure portal. 
 
-## Determine your Dev Box usage and quota by subscription
+For example, if dev box users encounter a vCPU quota error such as, *QuotaExceeded*, error during dev box creation there may be a need to increase this quota. A great place to start is to determine the current quota available.
