Hi @Ron Weasley

The main differences between the Microsoft Graph sign-in APIs for the beta and v1.0 endpoints are as follows:

Beta Endpoint (https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/auditLogs/signIns):

• Includes APIs that are currently in preview.
• May contain more features or properties that are not yet available in the v1.0 endpoint.
• Subject to potential breaking changes as it’s still in development.
• Not recommended for use in production applications due to the possibility of changes.

v1.0 Endpoint (https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/auditLogs/signIns):

• Contains generally available APIs that are considered stable.
• Recommended for all production apps.
• Less likely to undergo significant changes that would affect existing applications.

In summary, the beta version is best for testing and development purposes to explore new features, while the v1.0 version should be used for applications that are in production due to its stability and general availability.
