+# Extended Zones Article Writer
+
+Write production-ready how-to, quickstart, tutorial, or overview articles for the Azure Extended Zones Learn documentation.
+
+## Context Sources
+
+### Existing articles (reference for style and structure)
+- **Directory:** `C:\github\azure-docs-pr\articles\extended-zones\`
+- **Best style reference:** `create-storage-account.md` (canonical how-to example)
+- **TOC:** `TOC.yml` — defines the site navigation structure
+- **Overview:** `overview.md` — contains the supported services table
+
+### Team code repos (for technical accuracy)
+- `C:\github\AzureStack-Fiji-Workloads` — team workloads and service code
+- `C:\github\Extended-Zones-Core-Platform` — core platform code
+- `C:\github\Fiji-Services-EdgeZoneRP` — Edge Zone resource provider
+- `C:\github\Fiji-EdgeZones-TSG-TeamDocs` — troubleshooting and team docs
+- `C:\github\EdgeZones-Operations-Configuration` — operations config
+- `C:\github\EdgeZones-Operations-Validation` — validation scripts

+
+## Frontmatter Template
+
+```yaml
+---
+title: <Descriptive title — verb + noun + "in an Azure Extended Zone">
+description: <One sentence, under 160 characters, starting with "Learn how to...">
+author: svaldesgzz
+ms.author: svaldes
+ms.service: azure-extended-zones
+ms.topic: <how-to | quickstart | tutorial | overview | concept-article>
+ms.date: <MM/DD/YYYY>
+---
+```
+
+---
+
+## Article Naming Conventions
+
+| Type | Pattern | Example |
+|---|---|---|
+| How-to | `[action]-[resource].md` | `create-storage-account.md` |
+| Quickstart | `deploy-[resource]-[method].md` | `deploy-vm-portal.md` |
+| Tutorial | `[action]-[resource].md` | `backup-virtual-machine.md` |
+| Overview | `overview.md` or `[topic]-overview.md` | `overview.md` |
+
+---
+
+## Article Structure by Type
+
+### How-to guide (`ms.topic: how-to`)
+1. H1 title
+2. Intro paragraph ("In this article, you learn how to...")
+3. `## Prerequisites` — subscription, Extended Zone access, tools
+4. `## Sign in to Azure` — standard portal sign-in step
+5. Main task sections (H2 per major step)
+6. `## Clean up resources` — portal resource group deletion
+7. `## Related content` — 3–4 bullet links to related articles
+
+### Quickstart (`ms.topic: quickstart`)
+Same as how-to but faster-paced, single focused task, ends with a "Next steps" section.
+
+### Tutorial (`ms.topic: tutorial`)
+Multi-step, progressive task. Each H2 section builds on the previous one.
+
+---
+
+## Key Formatting Rules
+
+**Tables** (use for all settings/configuration steps):
+```markdown
+| Setting | Value |
+| --- | --- |
+| Key vault name | Enter a unique name, such as *myKeyVault*. |
+| Region | Select the **parent region** of the target Extended Zone. |
+```
+
+**Note/Important/Caution blocks:**
+```markdown
+> [!NOTE]
+> Note text here.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Critical info here.
+
+> [!CAUTION]
+> Warning text here.
+```
+
+**Code blocks** — always use language-specific fences:
+- Azure CLI: ` ```azurecli `
+- PowerShell: ` ```azurepowershell `
+- JSON: ` ```json `
+- Bash: ` ```bash `
+
+**Cross-links** — use relative paths:
+```markdown
+[Request access to an Azure Extended Zone](request-access.md)
+```
+
+**No screenshots** — use text instructions and tables only (no `:::image` directives).
+
+---
+
+## Extended Zone–Specific Notes
+
+- **Key Vault, Disk Encryption Sets, and most control-plane services** are created in the **parent Azure region**, not the Extended Zone itself.
+- **VMs, AKS clusters, storage accounts** are deployed **in the Extended Zone** using `--edge-zone <zone-name>` in the CLI or by selecting "Deploy to an Azure Extended Zone" in the portal under the Region field.
+- Always remind users: select the **parent region** first in the portal, then select **Deploy to an Azure Extended Zone** and choose the Extended Zone.
+- Storage in Extended Zones is **Premium only** with **LRS** redundancy.
+- Refer to `request-access.md` whenever Extended Zone access or zone names are needed.
+
+---
+
+## Publishing Checklist
+
+After writing the article:
+
+1. **Save the file** to `C:\github\azure-docs-pr\articles\extended-zones\<filename>.md`
+
+2. **Update `TOC.yml`** — add an entry under the appropriate section:
+   ```yaml
+   - name: <Short descriptive name>
+     href: <filename>.md
+   ```
+   Sections in TOC: Overview, Quickstarts, Tutorials, Concepts, How-to guides, Arc-enabled PaaS workloads, Security, Reference, Resources
+
+3. **Update `overview.md`** if the article covers a new service — add it to the supported services table under the correct category row (`Compute`, `Networking`, `Storage`, `BCDR`, `Arc-enabled PaaS`, `Other`). Services use `<br>` as separator and are written as markdown links.
+
+4. **Verify frontmatter** — all required fields present (`title`, `description`, `author`, `ms.author`, `ms.service`, `ms.topic`, `ms.date`).
