Ask Learn

Surface relevant Microsoft Learn documentation and step-by-step guidance for Microsoft Purview topics. This skill is a fallback — use the dlm-diagnostics skill first for troubleshooting active issues.

When to Use This Skill

  • User asks "how do I…" about a Purview feature
  • User asks for help, guidance, or documentation
  • User wants to learn about a Purview capability
  • The question does not match a diagnostic symptom in dlm-diagnostics

When NOT to Use This Skill

  • User reports a specific problem or error → use dlm-diagnostics instead
  • User needs to run diagnostic commands → use dlm-diagnostics instead
  • The symptom matches any entry in the dlm-diagnostics decision tree → use that skill

  3. Present the results — the tool returns matching Microsoft Learn links and step-by-step guidance.
  4. Summarize — provide the user with the most relevant links and a brief overview of the steps.
