Description

documentation

Hi.

Adding some graph functionality to an application, I sometimes come across minor errors in the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api code snippets. When I go to create a PR for the typo, there is a message at the head of the snippet that says:

description: "Automatically generated file. DO NOT MODIFY"

And I'm stuck.

Am I able to submit PRs for typos, or is opening an issue here the way to handle it?
