Hello dear Microsoft,

I have problems finding the option to set "Default Documents" for my NodeJS App Services instance on Azure.

From what I can tell from other sources on the internet, and after speaking with Azure Support Team. That option should be available from the configuration option in the left hand side menu inside the Azure portal.

How my portal looks:

    Hi @Gustav Lindström

    Yes this is expected at this stage. If you create your App Service Plan and select Windows, you will see the "Default Documents" in the Web App configuration. However, if you choose Linux App Service Plan to host your Web Apps, you will need to manage outside the portal more like a regular Web Server.

    You will find confirmation of this on this link:
