-Your handler for `onQuerySettingsUrl` returns the URL for the configuration page; after the configuration page closes, your handler for `onSettingsUpdate` accepts and saves the returned state. This is the one case in which `onQuery` *doesn't* receive the response from the configuration page.
+The [`onQuerySettingsUrl`](/dotnet/api/microsoft.teams.ai.messageextensions-1.onquery) handler returns the URL for the configuration page when a user clicks on the settings button. After the configuration page is closed, the `onSettingsUpdate` method is called to accept and save the returned state. The `onQuery` handler then retrieves the updated settings and uses them to update the behavior of the message extension. This is the one case in which `onQuery` *doesn't* receive the response from the configuration page.
+
+If a message extension uses a configuration page, the `onQuery` handler should first verify for any stored configuration data. If the message extension isn't configured, a `config` response must be returned, which includes a link to your configuration.
