 ### Using Bicep parameter files
 
-:octicons-beaker-24:{ .experimental } Experimental · :octicons-milestone-24: v1.27.0
+<!-- module:version v1.34.0 -->
 
 You can use `.bicepparam` files to reference your Bicep modules as a method for providing parameters.
 Using the Bicep parameter file format, allows you to get many of the benefits of the Bicep language.
 
 For example:
 
 ```bicepparam
-using 'template.bicep'
+using 'main.bicep'
 
 param storageAccountName = 'bicepstorage001'
 param tags = {
   env: 'test'
 }
 ```
 
-Presently, to use this feature you must:
-
-1. Enable the experimental feature in `bicepconfig.json`.
-2. Enable expansion of Bicep parameter files in `ps-rule.yaml`.
-
-For example:
-
-```json title="bicepconfig.json"
-{
-  "experimentalFeaturesEnabled": {
-    "paramsFiles": true
-  }
-}
-```
-
-```yaml title="ps-rule.yaml"
