 ## With the Private Marketplace, you can:
+
 - Curate exactly which extensions appear for your organization, whether they're internal tools or trusted public plugins.
 - Lock down sensitive IP by privately hosting your own extensions—no more sharing proprietary code outside your firewall.
 - Easily rehost vetted public extensions after your own checks, so your teams can use familiar tools in secure or air-gapped environments.
 - Roll out everything centrally—new users get a consistent, up-to-date catalog from day one.
 
 ## Same great VS Code experience
+
 Fully integrated into the VS Code experience, your developers will find, install, and update extensions as easily as ever—without leaving the safety of your managed ecosystem. No more ticket-based installs, zip file confusion, or security compromises.

 # VS Code for the Web - Azure
 
-VS Code for the Web is a zero-install and browser-based version of Visual Studio Code. The `/azure` (for short) environment, accessible via <https://insiders.vscode.dev/azure>, is a dedicated space for Azure development, allowing you to run, debug, and deploy applications to Azure in seconds.

 Powered by [Azure Cloud Shell](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-shell/overview), this environment offers up to **4 hours of compute time**, eliminating the need to manually configure dev environments or install dependencies. `/azure` comes preloaded with the latest libraries, extensions, and tools to get you coding instantly.
