Explanation​

First it will try to get the content of the tab from the provided source.

<Tab Title="Get Started" Source="\\sharedDrive\StartPage\studio-getstarted.xml">

If it is not available it will use the fall back code (Studio subject).

<Subject Title="Studio">
…
</Subject>

If it is not available it will use the fall back code.

In this case, the fall back has one subject (Studio).

<Subject Title="Studio">
…
</Subject>

And that subject has just one topic: ("Studio in action") with a description and an image file.

<Topic Title="Studio in action" Description="See how simple it is to use CloudShell studio for your first tests." Image="default.png">

</Topic>

<SubTopic Title="My first test">
<Link Type="Test" Title="Open sample" Target="CloudShell\Test\Local\ My first test"/>
<Link Type="Video" Title="Watch video" Target="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFsAmnh8uug"/>
</SubTopic>
