Any optional settings in SettingsSchema.md should have their default value listed. Otherwise, it may require some trial-and-error to determine which setting you are currently using.

A change like #918 then could have update the default values in the docs.

@DHowett-MSFT commented on GitHub (Jul 2, 2019):

This probably doesn't help, but leaving out an optional value will result in two things:

  1. the setting will be reset to its default
  2. if we change the defaults, it'll automatically update to be the new default
