 ## About Azure Local releases
 
+> [!NOTE]
+> Azure Local previously followed an annual release cadence for OS and feature updates, with versions like 23H2 and 22H2. The versioning model has now changed to align with a monthly release train, like 2507, 2506. However, references to older versioning might still appear in some documentation.
+
 The Azure Local includes multiple release trains: 2411, 2503, 2504, 2505, and so forth. Each release train after 2411 is either a feature build or cumulative update.
 
 - **Feature build**: The feature update build is the initial version of the software in a release train. Feature releases go beyond quality and security fixes, incorporating product enhancements, including updates for Azure Local services and agents.
