-## Reverse migrate (SQL Server 2022)
+## Reverse a migration
 
-Starting with SQL Server 2022 CU10, you can configure a link with Azure SQL Managed Instance as the initial primary and SQL Server as the secondary. This capability allows you to reverse migrate from Azure SQL Managed Instance to SQL Server 2022.
+Reverse migration back to SQL Server from Azure SQL Managed Instance might be supported depending on the [update policy](/azure/azure-sql/managed-instance/update-policy) of your SQL managed instance. For example: 
+- [SQL Server 2022 update policy](/azure/azure-sql/managed-instance/update-policy#sql-server-2022-update-policy): Databases from instances configured with the **SQL Server 2022** update policy can be restored back to SQL Server 2022 instances.
+- [SQL Server 2025 update policy](/azure/azure-sql/managed-instance/update-policy#sql-server-2025-update-policy): Databases from instances configured with the **SQL Server 2025** update policy can be restored back to SQL Server 2025 instances.
+- [Always-up-to-date update policy](/azure/azure-sql/managed-instance/update-policy#always-up-to-date-update-policy): Databases from instances configured with the **Always-up-to-date** update policy can't be restored back to SQL Server.
 
-To reverse a migration, follow the same steps to configure the link, but start the process with the SQL Managed Instance as your migration source, and the SQL Server 2022 instance as the migration target. 
+If your source SQL Server version is earlier than SQL Server 2022, reverse migration isn't possible. When your database is migrated to SQL Managed Instance, it undergoes an internal upgrade to a newer database version that isn't compatible with earlier SQL Server versions. Reverse migration database compatibility is only available when SQL Managed instance is configured with the corresponding update policy.

 # Use the SSMS XEvent Profiler
+
 [!INCLUDE [SQL Server](../../includes/applies-to-version/sql-asdbmi.md)]
 
 The XEvent Profiler is a SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) feature that displays a live viewer window of Extended Events. This overview describes the reasons for using this profiler, key features, and instructions to get started viewing Extended Events.
 
 ## Why would I use the XEvent Profiler?
+
 Unlike SQL Profiler, XEvent profiler is directly integrated into SSMS and is built on top of the scalable Extended Events technology in the SQL engine. This feature enables quick access to a live streaming view of diagnostics events on the SQL Server. This view can be customized and those customizations can be shared with other SSMS users as a .viewsettings file. The session created by XE Profiler is less intrusive to the running SQL Server than a similar SQL trace would be when using SQL Profiler. This session can be customized by the user as well, using the existing XE session properties UI or by Transact-SQL.
 
 ## Prerequisites
+
 This feature is only available on SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) v17.3 or later. Install the latest version of [SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)](/ssms/install/install).

+## Getting started
+
 To access the XEvent Profiler, follow these steps:
 
 1. Open **SQL Server Management Studio**.
 
-2. Connect to an instance of the SQL Server Database Engine or localhost.
+1. Connect to an instance of the SQL Server Database Engine or localhost.
+
+1. In Object Explorer, find the XE Profiler menu item and expand it by selecting the '+' sign.
+
+   :::image type="content" source="media/use-the-ssms-xe-profiler/xevents-xe-profiler-menu.png" alt-text="Screenshot of the XEProfiler Menu.":::
+
+1. Double-click **Standard** if you want to view all events in this session. Select **T-SQL** if you want to view the logged SQL statements. If a session is not already created, a session is created for you.

+
+## Stop and start the session
+
+To start the session, either select **Start data feed** from the **Extended Events** menu in the Live Data Viewer or use the green arrow in the tool bar:
+
+:::image type="content" source="media/use-the-ssms-xe-profiler/start-feed.png" alt-text="Screenshot of the start data feed option in the extended events menu in SSMS.":::
+
+Likewise, after a session is started, to stop a session select **Stop data feed** from the **Extended Events** menu in the Live Data Viewer or use the red square in the tool bar.
 
-3. In Object Explorer, find the XE Profiler menu item and expand it by clicking the '+' sign.
+## Customize the session
 
-   ![XEProfiler Menu](media/xevents-xe-profiler-menu.png)
+While XEvent Profiler provides the preconfigured **Standard** and **T-SQL** sessions, you can further customize the session to meet your needs by doing the following:
 
-4. Double-click **Standard** if you want to view all events in this session. Click **T-SQL** if you want to view the logged SQL statements. If a session is not already created, a session is created for you.
+- **Add or remove columns**: Right-click on any column header in the Live Data viewer and select **Choose Columns...** to add or remove columns to control the display of additional information.
+- **Filter events**: Right-click on any field in the Live Data viewer and select **Filter by this value** to apply criteria to the captured events, such as to focus on a specific application, user, or event type. Alternatively, you can select **Filters...** from the top navigation bar to open the filter dialog box.
 
-   ![XEProfiler Session](media/xevents-xe-profiler-start-session.png)
+## Export data
 
-5. You can now view events captured by the session.
+To save the data for later analysis, you can export the data feed to a table, or either an `XEL` or `CSV` file. To export the feed, select **Export data...** from the **Extended Events** menu.
