 The purpose of the change feed is to provide transaction logs of all the changes that occur to the blobs and the blob metadata in your storage account. The change feed provides **ordered**, **guaranteed**, **durable**, **immutable**, **read-only** log of these changes. Client applications can read these logs at any time, either in streaming or in batch mode. The change feed enables you to build efficient and scalable solutions that process change events that occur in your Blob Storage account at a low cost.
 
+To learn how to process records in the change feed, see [Process change feed in Azure Blob Storage](storage-blob-change-feed-how-to.md).

 ## How the change feed works
 
 Change feed records are stored as [blobs](/rest/api/storageservices/understanding-block-blobs--append-blobs--and-page-blobs) in a special container in your storage account at standard [blob pricing](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/details/storage/blobs/) cost. You can control the retention period of these files based on your requirements (See the [conditions](#conditions) of the current release). Change events are appended to the change feed as records in the [Apache Avro](https://avro.apache.org/docs/1.8.2/spec.html) format specification: a compact, fast, binary format that provides rich data structures with inline schema. This format is widely used in the Hadoop ecosystem, Stream Analytics, and Azure Data Factory.

 The change feed produces several metadata and log files. These files are located in the **$blobchangefeed** container of the storage account. The **$blobchangefeed** container can be viewed either via the Azure portal or via Azure Storage Explorer.
