> For added security, you can create a markdown file and store it in an [Azure storage account blob where encryption is enabled](../storage/common/storage-service-encryption.md), then point to the file using the URL option. The markdown content is encrypted through the storage account's encryption options. Only users with permissions to the file can see the markdown content on the dashboard.
