 });
 ```
 
+You can also set `clientOptions` property to configure `SecretClientOptions` used to connect to Azure Key Vault that has no registered `SecretClient`.
+
+```typescript
+const credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();
+const appConfig = await load(endpoint, credential, {
+    keyVaultOptions: {
+        credential: credential,
+        clientOptions: { // configure a custom SecretClientOptions

+                maxRetryDelayInMs: 1000 
+            }
+        }
+    }
+});
+```
+
+### Parallel secret resolution
+
+Azure Key Vault doesn't provide a batch API for retrieving multiple secrets in a single request. When your application needs to load numerous Key Vault references, you can improve performance by enabling parallel secret resolution using the `parallelSecretResolutionEnabled` property in `KeyVaultOptions`. This allows the provider to fetch multiple secrets in parallel rather than sequentially:
+
+
+```typescript
+const credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();
+const appConfig = await load(endpoint, credential, {
+    keyVaultOptions: {
+        credential: credential,
+        parallelSecretResolutionEnabled: true
+    }
+});
+```
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> When resolving secret in parallel, you may encounter the [service limit](/azure/key-vault/general/service-limits#secrets-managed-storage-account-keys-and-vault-transactions) of Azure Key Vault.
+> To handle throttling effectively, implement the [client-side throttling best practices](/azure/key-vault/general/overview-throttling#how-to-throttle-your-app-in-response-to-service-limits) by configuring appropriate retry options for the `SecretClient`. You can either register custom `SecretClient` instances or configure `clientOptions` via the `AzureAppConfigurationOptions.keyVaultOptions`.
+
+
+## Snapshot
+
+[Snapshot](./concept-snapshots.md) is a named, immutable subset of an App Configuration store's key-values. The key-values that make up a snapshot are chosen during creation time through the usage of key and label filters. Once a snapshot is created, the key-values within are guaranteed to remain unchanged.
+
+You can use snapshot selector to load key-values or feature flags from a snapshot:
+
+```typescript
+const appConfig = await load(endpoint, credential, {
+    selectors: [
+        { snapshotName: "MySnapshot" }, // load key-values from snapshot
+        { keyFilter: "test*", labelFilter: "test" }
+    ],
+    featureFlagOptions: {
+        enabled: true,
+        selectors: [
+            { snapshotName: "MySnapshot" }, // load feature flags from snapshot
+            { keyFilter: "*", labelFilter: "test" }
+        ]
+    }
+});
+```
+
+## Startup retry
+
+Configuration loading is a critical path operation during application startup. To ensure reliability, the Azure App Configuration provider implements a robust retry mechanism during the initial configuration load. This helps protect your application from transient network issues that might otherwise prevent successful startup.
+
+You can customize this behavior via the `AzureAppConfigurationOptions.startupOptions`:
+
+```typescript
+const appConfig = await load(endpoint, credential, { 
+    startupOptions: { 
+        timeoutInMs: 300_000
+    }
+});
+```

 # Microservice APIs powered by Dapr
 
 Azure Container Apps provides APIs powered by [Distributed Application Runtime (Dapr)][dapr-concepts] that help you write and implement simple, portable, resilient, and secured microservices. Dapr works together with Azure Container Apps as an abstraction layer to provide a low-maintenance and scalable platform. Azure Container Apps offers a selection of fully managed Dapr APIs, components, and features, catered specifically to microservice scenarios. Simply [enable and configure Dapr][dapr-enable] as usual in your container app environment.

+> Find updates and release announcements for Dapr in Azure Container Apps [in GitHub](https://aka.ms/dapr-aca-updates).

 ## How the microservices APIs work with your container app
 
 Configure microservices APIs for your container apps environment with a [Dapr-enabled container app][dapr-enable], a [Dapr component configured for your solution][dapr-components], and a Dapr sidecar invoking communication between them. The following diagram demonstrates these core concepts, using the pub/sub API as an example.
