 Microsoft Graph API Design Pattern
 
-*The default properties pattern allows API producers to omit specific properties from the response unless they are explicitly requested using `$select`. The pattern also uses an instance annotation to inform callers that other properties are also available. The same annotation is also use to encourage callers to use `$select`.*
+*The default properties pattern allows API producers to omit specific properties from the response unless they are explicitly requested using `$select`.*
 
 ## Problem
 
-API producers want to control the set of properties that their entities return by default, when the incoming request does not specify a `$select`. This can be desirable when an entity type has many properties or an API producer needs to add properties that are computationally expensive to return by default.

This can be desirable when an entity type has many properties or an API producer needs to add properties that are computationally expensive to return by default.
 
 ## Solution
 
-For incoming requests targeting an entity type where the caller does not specify a `$select`` clause, API producers **may** return a subset of the entity type's properties, omitting computationally expensive properties.
