 In *single-tenant* Azure Logic Apps, deployment becomes easier because you can separate resource provisioning between apps and infrastructure. You can use *parameters* to abstract values that might change between environments. By defining parameters to use in your workflows, you can first focus on designing your workflows, and then insert your environment-specific variables later. You can call and reference your environment variables at runtime by using app settings and parameters. That way, you don't have to redeploy as often.
 
-App settings integrate with Azure Key Vault. You can [directly reference secure strings](../app-service/app-service-key-vault-references.md), such as connection strings and keys. Similar to Azure Resource Manager templates (ARM templates), where you can define environment variables at deployment time, you can define app settings within your [logic app workflow definition](/azure/templates/microsoft.logic/workflows). You can then capture dynamically generated infrastructure values, such as connection endpoints, storage strings, and more. However, app settings have size limitations and can't be referenced from certain areas in Azure Logic Apps.

 App settings in Azure Logic Apps work similarly to app settings in Azure Functions or Azure Web Apps. If you've used these other services before, you might already be familiar with app settings.

-For your workflow to run properly, some app settings are required.
+The following table describes the app settings that your logic app uses. Some settings are required for your logic app to work correctly:
 
 | Setting | Required | Value | Description |
 |---------|----------|-------|-------------|
 | `APP_KIND` | Yes | `workflowApp` | Required to set the app type for the Standard logic app resource. The value must be set to **`workflowApp`**. <br><br>**Note**: In some scenarios, this app setting might be missing, for example, due to automation using Azure Resource Manager templates or other scenarios where the setting isn't included. If certain actions don't work, such as the **Execute JavaScript Code** action, or if the workflow stops working, check that the **APP_KIND** app setting exists and is set to **`workflowApp`**. |
 | `AZURE_AUTHORITY_HOST` | No | None | Sets the Standard logic app's default authority to use for OAuth authentication. |
 | `AzureWebJobsStorage` | Yes | None | Required to set the connection string for an Azure storage account. For more information, see [AzureWebJobsStorage](../azure-functions/functions-app-settings.md#azurewebjobsstorage). |
 | `FUNCTIONS_EXTENSION_VERSION` | Yes | `~4` | Required to set the Azure Functions version. For more information, see [FUNCTIONS_EXTENSION_VERSION](/azure/azure-functions/functions-app-settings#functions_extension_version). |
-| `FUNCTIONS_WORKER_RUNTIME` | Yes | `dotnet` | Required to set the language worker runtime for your logic app resource and workflows. <br><br>**Note**: This setting's value was previously set to **`node`**, but now the required value is **`dotnet`** for all new and existing deployed Standard logic apps. This change shouldn't affect your workflow's runtime, so everything should work the same way as before. <br><br>For more information, see [FUNCTIONS_WORKER_RUNTIME](../azure-functions/functions-app-settings.md#functions_worker_runtime). |

This setting is useful when large file writes take a long time and avoids fetching data for a partially written file. |
 | `ServiceProviders.Sftp.OperationTimeout` | No | `00:02:00` <br>(2 min) | Sets the time to wait before timing out on any operation. |
 | `ServiceProviders.Sftp.ServerAliveInterval` | No | `00:30:00` <br>(30 min) | Sends a "keep alive" message to keep the SSH connection active if no data exchange with the server happens during the specified period. |

 In Visual Studio Code, your logic app project has either of the following types:
 
 * Extension bundle-based (Node.js), which is the default type
 * NuGet package-based (.NET), which you can convert from the default type
 
-Based on these types, your project includes slightly different folders and files. A NuGet-based project includes a .bin folder that contains packages and other library files. A bundle-based project doesn't include the .bin folder and other files. Some scenarios require a NuGet-based project for your app to run, for example, when you want to develop and run custom built-in operations. For more information about converting your project to use NuGet, review [Enable built-connector authoring](../create-single-tenant-workflows-visual-studio-code.md#enable-built-in-connector-authoring).
