+## What are flagged sign-ins?
 
 Azure AD sign-in events are critical to understanding what went right or wrong with user sign-ins and the authentication configuration in a tenant. However, Azure AD processes over 8 billion authentications a day, which can result in so many sign-in events that admins may find it difficult to find the ones which matter. In other words, the sheer number of sign-in events can make the signal of users who need assistance get lost in the volume of a large number of events.
 
-Flagged Sign-ins is a feature intended to increase the signal to noise ratio for user sign-ins requiring help. The functionality is intended to empower users to raise awareness about sign-in errors they want help with and, for admins and help desk workers, make finding the right events faster and more efficient. Flagged Sign-in events contain the same information as other sign-in events contain with one addition: they also indicate that a user flagged the event for review by admins.
