-A portal is always created as a trial. A trial portal, which expires after 30 days, is useful for trying out its capabilities at no cost. After expiration, a portal is suspended and shut down. Seven days after suspension, the trial portal is deleted. On every change of portal lifecycle stage, such as nearing to suspension, suspended, deleted, and converted from trial to production, you'll receive notifications as a toast and through email.

Seven days after it's suspended, the trial portal is deleted. You'll be notified at every stage of the portal lifecycle—nearing suspension, suspended, deleted, and converted from trial to production—through toast notifications and email.
 
-As an administrator, you can convert a trial or suspended portal to a production portal. While converting a trial portal to production, ensure that the environment is also a production environment. You can’t convert a trial portal to production in a trial environment. If you delete the environment in which a trial portal is created, the portal is also deleted.

 The first portal is free to be created in an environment in a tenant. If you need to create more than one portal, you must have 1 GB of unused storage space in the tenant.

 ### Trial portal
 
-A portal is always created as a trial portal. You can convert it to production from the Power Apps Portals admin center if you have the required licenses. For information on converting a trial portal to production, see [Convert a trial portal to production](#convert-a-trial-portal-to-production).
+Every portal begins as a trial portal that expires after 30 days. You can convert it to a production portal from the Power Apps Portals admin center if you have the required licenses. More information: [Convert a portal from trial to production](#convert-a-portal-from-trial-to-production)
 
-To convert a trial portal to production, the environment should have required add-ons for external users, or a license for internal users. For more information on licensing, see [Power Apps and Power Automate licensing FAQs](https://docs.microsoft.com/power-platform/admin/powerapps-flow-licensing-faq) and [Power Apps portals licensing](https://docs.microsoft.com/power-platform/admin/powerapps-flow-licensing-faq#can-you-share-more-details-regarding-the-new-power-apps-portals-licensing).

 ### Suspended portal
 
-You'll continue to see notifications in the Power Apps Portals admin center about the expiration of your trial portal. Trial portals expire after 30 days. If you don't convert your portal to production within the trial period, the portal is shut down and placed on the suspended status. You can't access your portal after its expiration.

 ### Deleted portal
 
-If you don't convert your portal to production within the seven-day suspension period, the portal is deleted. The portal data isn't deleted from the environment, but the space used by the portal in an environment will be released, and you can create a new portal.
