Microsoft Learn is a library of technical documentation and training for end users, developers, and IT professionals working with Microsoft products. It was introduced in September 2018[1] as the successor to Microsoft Docs, which in turn had replaced MSDN and TechNet.[2][3]

The website consists of several sections for documentation, training, credentials, Q&A, code samples, assessments, and shows.

Structure and features

Documentation
