 #### How does the enhanced export experience handle missing attributes like subscription IDs?
 
-In the new export experience, missing attributes such as subscription IDs will be set to null or empty, rather than using a default empty GUID (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000), to more accurately indicate the absence of a value. This affects charges pertaining to unused reservations, unused savings plan and rounding adjustments.

 #### How are the exported files organized in the blob storage folders?
 
 The exported files are organized in a structured hierarchy within the storage folders. The naming and hierarchy of the folders are as follows:
 
-- StorageContainer/StorageDirectory/ExportName/[YYYYMMDD-YYYYMMDD]/[RunID]/
+- `StorageContainer/StorageDirectory/ExportName/[YYYYMMDD-YYYYMMDD]/[RunID]/`
 
 This path contains the CSV files and a manifest file.
 
 For example:
 
-- StorageContainer/StorageDirectory/ExportName/[20240401-20240430]/[RunID1]/
+- `StorageContainer/StorageDirectory/ExportName/[20240401-20240430]/[RunID1]/`
 
 This folder contains the CSV files and the manifest file for all export runs during the April 2024 time period.
 
-- StorageContainer/StorageDirectory/ExportName/[20241101-20241130]/[RunID2]/
+- `StorageContainer/StorageDirectory/ExportName/[20241101-20241130]/[RunID2]/`
 
 This folder contains the CSV files and the manifest file for all export runs during the November 2024 time period.
 
-We ensure that the cost file for a particular month is available within that month's folder (e.g., [20240401-20240430], [20241101-20241130], etc.).
