This PR is not ready for review - I am checking if the format is rendering correctly & the c_pp_properties schema file is not updated yet. |

| To configure, select the status bar indicator, which navigates you to the [configuration quickpickpick](/docs/cpp/configure-intellisense#_selecting-a-compiler-for-IntelliSense.md). The status bar indicator also is shown if you have provided a configuration for IntelliSense, but the C/C++ Extension is reverting to the base configuration provided in your `c_cpp_properties.json` file. In this case, open the `c_cpp_properties.json` file (Select **C/C++: Edit Configurations (UI)** from the Command Palette (`kb(workbench.action.showCommands)`)). |

format should be (/docs/cpp/configure-intellisense.md#selecting-a-compiler-for-intellisense)
but I'm not sure that header exists

Updated all the places this header was referenced - it is supposed to link to the configuration quickpick section, which I had renamed since creating the links.

Are these the current defaults?

No - I believe the current defaults are c17/c++17? I wanted to use the most recent version to encourage users to use the most recent versions.

I think it should be for example, the [Makefile Tools](...) or [CMake Tools](..) extension
Part of the Plan to update our docs with the newest features. Features covered in this update:
I made this doc separate from the "Configuring IntelliSense for cross compilation" document so that it can be a one stop shop for how to identify if you have IntelliSense configured & if not, how to do so. The details of the c_pp_properties file schema are still addressed in the separate doc.
