Probably in every EPiServer project there will be a need to store a list of links to your content pages. EPiServer.CMS.UI 8.6.0 introduced a new multiple ContentReference property. Usually we could use a single property to store a collection of links. For example when building a media slideshow or when displaying links in a site footer. Using EPiServer there are several possibilities of implementation.
List properties: ContentArea, LinkItemCollection, multiple ContentReference

When you try to copy a file larger than 2 GB over a Remote Desktop Services or a Terminal Services session through Clipboard redirection (copy and paste) by using RDP client 6.0 or a later version, the file isn’t copied. And you don’t receive an error message.
It’s a known issue. Copying files larger than 2 GB by using this method isn’t supported.
To resolve this issue, use one of the following methods:
xcopy \\tsclient\c\myfiles\LargeFile d:\temp
I had a problem with a web app service on Azure, the session state was not functioning properly.
2 instances where running for the website and the Session affinity cookie was set to Off, that was the problem, ARR makes sure that the user stays on the correct webserver for the duration of the session.
I had to turn it ON, see link below for where to find it.

If you prefer to use Chrome’s or IE’s own dev tools to do client-side debugging, the recent update to Visual Studio 2017 RC introduced a setting to disable the IE and Chrome script debugger (this will also prevent Chrome/IE from closing after a debugging session ends). Go to Tools -> Options -> Debugging -> General and turn off the setting Enable JavaScript Debugging for ASP.NET (Chrome and IE).
This needs to be done as well sometimes:
Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > Web Projects, uncheck “Stop debugger when browser window is closed”
