+#### Reusing an Existing Fabric Capacity and Workspace (BYO mode)
+
+If you already have a Fabric capacity and workspace, set `byo` mode so the deployment skips creating new ones. The bicepparam variables are driven by environment variables, so the recommended approach is to set them with `azd env set` before running `azd up`:
+
+**Step 1 — Set the mode in `infra/main.bicepparam`** (or leave the default `byo` unchanged):
+
+```bicep
+// infra/main.bicepparam
+var fabricCapacityPreset = readEnvironmentVariable('fabricCapacityMode', 'byo')
+```
+
+The `fabricCapacityMode` env variable controls both capacity and workspace preset (they are tied together). Set it explicitly if the checked-in default has been changed:
+
+```powershell
+azd env set fabricCapacityMode byo
+```
+
+**Step 2 — Supply the existing resource identifiers:**
+
+```powershell
+# ARM resource ID of the existing Fabric capacity
+azd env set fabricCapacityResourceId "/subscriptions/<sub-id>/resourceGroups/<rg>/providers/Microsoft.Fabric/capacities/<capacity-name>"
+
+# GUID of the existing Fabric workspace (from the workspace URL or Fabric portal)
+azd env set FABRIC_WORKSPACE_ID "<workspace-guid>"
+
+# Display name of the existing workspace (used for naming/UX; optional but recommended)
+azd env set FABRIC_WORKSPACE_NAME "<workspace-display-name>"
+```
+
+> **How to find the workspace GUID:** Open the workspace in [app.fabric.microsoft.com](https://app.fabric.microsoft.com), copy the URL. The segment after `/groups/` is the workspace GUID (e.g., `https://app.fabric.microsoft.com/groups/e9c7ed61-0cdc-4356-a239-9d49cc755fe0/...` → `e9c7ed61-0cdc-4356-a239-9d49cc755fe0`).
+
+> **How to find the capacity resource ID:** In Azure Portal, open the Fabric capacity resource → **Properties** → copy **Resource ID**. It follows the pattern `/subscriptions/.../providers/Microsoft.Fabric/capacities/<name>`.
+
+After setting these variables, run `azd up` normally. The deployment will attach to your existing capacity and workspace instead of creating new ones.

+## Fabric Configuration
+
+### Modes: create, byo, none
+
+| Mode | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `create` | Provisions a new Fabric capacity (Bicep) and workspace (postprovision script) |
+| `byo` | Reuses an existing Fabric capacity and workspace — no new resources created |
+| `none` | Disables all Fabric automation; OneLake indexing will be skipped |
+
+Both capacity and workspace modes are controlled by the same `fabricCapacityMode` environment variable (they are tied together in `infra/main.bicepparam`).
+
+### Setting Mode via azd env
+
+The recommended way to configure Fabric mode is with `azd env set` — these values are read directly by `infra/main.bicepparam` at provision time:
+
+```powershell
+# Choose one:
+azd env set fabricCapacityMode create   # create new capacity + workspace
+azd env set fabricCapacityMode byo      # reuse existing capacity + workspace (default)
+azd env set fabricCapacityMode none     # disable all Fabric automation
+```
+
+### Reusing Existing Fabric Resources (BYO)
+
+When `fabricCapacityMode` is `byo`, supply the identifiers of your existing resources:
+
+```powershell
+# ARM resource ID of the existing Fabric capacity
+azd env set fabricCapacityResourceId "/subscriptions/<sub-id>/resourceGroups/<rg>/providers/Microsoft.Fabric/capacities/<capacity-name>"
+
+# GUID of the existing Fabric workspace (from the workspace URL)
+azd env set FABRIC_WORKSPACE_ID "<workspace-guid>"
+
+# Display name of the existing workspace (optional, used for naming/UX)
+azd env set FABRIC_WORKSPACE_NAME "<workspace-display-name>"
+```
+
+> **How to find the workspace GUID:** Open the workspace in [app.fabric.microsoft.com](https://app.fabric.microsoft.com). The URL segment after `/groups/` is the GUID (e.g., `https://app.fabric.microsoft.com/groups/e9c7ed61-0cdc-4356-a239-9d49cc755fe0/...`).
+>
+> **How to find the capacity resource ID:** Azure Portal → Fabric capacity resource → **Properties** → **Resource ID**.
+
+You can also set these directly in `infra/main.bicepparam` if you prefer source-controlled values:
+
+```bicep
+// infra/main.bicepparam
+var fabricCapacityPreset = 'byo'
+param fabricCapacityResourceId = '/subscriptions/<sub-id>/resourceGroups/<rg>/providers/Microsoft.Fabric/capacities/<name>'
+param fabricWorkspaceId = '<workspace-guid>'
+param fabricWorkspaceName = '<workspace-display-name>'
+```
+
+> **Note:** Values set via `azd env set` take precedence over hardcoded bicepparam values because `readEnvironmentVariable(...)` is evaluated at deploy time.
+
+### Creating New Fabric Resources
+
+When `fabricCapacityMode` is `create`, you must provide at least one admin principal:
+
+```bicep
+// infra/main.bicepparam
+param fabricCapacityAdmins = ['user@contoso.com']
+param fabricCapacitySku = 'F2'  // adjust SKU as needed
+```
+
+> **Permission requirement:** The identity running `azd` must have the **Fabric Administrator** role (or Power BI tenant admin) to call the workspace admin APIs used during postprovision.
