Appconfiguration: No explanation for using Labels

Tracking issue for https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs/issues/34839

We sort of intentionally left out the label in quickstart documents to make the quickstart easy. Given the label is a concept of AppConfig, should we add a section in all quickstart documents to show how to use label too? We saw similar questions about label in the past too. Thoughts?

I absolutely agree that we need this documentation. I think a scenario-focused tutorial would be a better approach. Keep the quickstarts... quick.

If the label is not required to complete the quickstarts, I agree with Lisa -- let's create a tutorial that walks the customer through the use of labels from concept to implementation. I'm syncing with Lisa this week, so I'll get details from her and put together a draft.

Just like the quick start gives you the option at the end to continue to the tutorial for dynamically refreshing, another tutorial for using labels is required. While not directly linked, but there is a tutorial for Feature Keys but nothing for Labels - that's what makes this an issue.

The issue I ran into getting this to work in a legacy .NET application was that while labels are talked about in a few places none of them mentioned how to filter by labels in the config builder. I think building a full framework version of this tutorial would solve the deficiency: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-app-configuration/howto-labels-aspnet-core.

I'm happy to write that if you agree with my suggested approach.
