In the Microsoft Learn module “Understand Microsoft Entra ID,” I noticed the statement: “Within an Azure subscription, you can create multiple Microsoft Entra tenants.”
This appears misleading because an Azure subscription can be associated with only one Microsoft Entra tenant at a time, while a Microsoft Entra tenant can be associated with multiple Azure subscriptions.
I believe “within an Azure subscription” incorrectly suggests that multiple tenants are contained within a subscription.
Suggested wording: “An organization can create multiple Microsoft Entra tenants. Having multiple tenants can be useful for testing Microsoft Entra functionality in one tenant without affecting the others.”
Could the Learn content team review and correct this wording?

Supported relationship:
So the phrase “Within an Azure subscription, you can create multiple Microsoft Entra tenants” is misleading because it implies that tenants are contained within a subscription. That does not match the documented model.
A more accurate wording would be:
If the intent is to explain test isolation, this is also consistent with the guidance that a single tenant is usually the default starting point, and additional tenants should be created only when requirements cannot be met in the corporate tenant.
