+By default, EF Core now saves changes via a significantly more efficient technique; unfortunately, this technique is not supported on SQL Server if the target table has database triggers, or certain types of computed columns. See the [SQL Server documentation](/sql/t-sql/queries/output-clause-transact-sql#remarks) for more details.
 
 #### Why
 
-The performance improvements linked to the new method are significant enough that it's important to bring them to users by default. At the same time, we estimate usage of database triggers in EF Core applications to be low enough that the negative breaking change consequences are outweighed by the performance gain.
