* Automatic Environment cleanup rules – https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/automatic-environment-cleanup
* Output Mode options for actions in Copilot Studio – Output mode “All” in copilot studio expands sub objects in the output instead of exposing just the L1 properties to the orchestrator. It is more expensive (higher latency) and uses more tokens so should only be used when the “Specific” isn’t sufficient for the action you are using. “Specific” exposes only the properties that have non null values from first level reflection of the object.
