summary

Twenty concrete ADF practices: save then refresh before publish to avoid overwrites; check object dependencies before changing datasets or linked services; clone data flows to debug breakages; extract failure text via output.errors.message and capture rows via output.dataReads/output.dataWritten; use annotations on triggered runs; prefer parameters/global parameters and expressions to avoid nested activities; factor reusable email/logic into child pipelines; write variables to Blob by using copy activity additional columns. Also note ADF lists ~95 built‑in sources.
