Customer Feedback Requested: Canonical Topic TOC

Table of Contents



This is a proposed TOC for what we are referring to as a "canonical topic". This specific type of topic would be written for a Server Role and it should contain all of the basic information about a server role.

Please, let me know if there are additional headings that you think are missing or whether you think this is too much for a single topic. Whatever feedback you have, we would be happy to hear from you!

    What is your definition of canonical? I've been thinking it of as a concise version, but this does not look like a template for a concise topic.
