 A personal host pool is a type of host pool that has personal desktops. Personal desktops have one-to-one mapping, which means a single user can only be assigned to a single personal desktop. Every time the user signs in, their user session is directed to their assigned personal desktop session host.
 
-Personal desktops are ideal for users with resource-intensive workloads because user experience and session performance improves if there's only one session on the session host. Another benefit of this host pool type is that user activities, files, and settings can persist on the virtual machine operating system (VM OS) disk after the user signs out because it's only for them.

 Multiple personal desktop assignment allows you to assign more than one personal desktop to a single user in a single host pool. Multiple desktops are useful for users juggling diverse business roles, such as backend and frontend development or transitioning between testing and production environments. Previously, users were restricted to one personal desktop per host pool, meaning you needed to create multiple host pools for extra desktops. Multiple personal desktop assignment streamlines the process, eliminating the need for multiple host pools in this scenario, and simplifying user assignment management.
 
 >[!IMPORTANT]
->- This preview feature is only for personal host pools with direct assignment type. Pooled host pools aren't supported and personal host pools with automatic assignment type aren't supported.

-We're aware of the following issues with the preview of multiple personal desktop assignment:
-
-- When viewing the list host pools in the Azure portal, the load balancing type for host pools with multiple personal desktop assignment enabled is showing **-** instead of **Multiple Persistent**.
-
-- To enable multiple personal desktop assignment on existing personal host pool with the **Automatic** assignment type, you first need to change the assignment type to **Direct** and save the change, and then e multiple personal desktop assignment. These actions need to be done in separate steps. If you try to do both in a single step, you get an error message.
