+## Solution 6: Validate syntax for templates exported from Azure
+
+After you deploy resources in Azure, you can export the ARM template JSON and modify it for other deployments. You should validate the exported template for correct syntax _before_ you use it to deploy resources.
+
+You can export a template from the [portal](../templates/export-template-portal.md), [Azure CLI](../templates/export-template-cli.md), or [Azure PowerShell](../templates/export-template-powershell.md). There are recommendations whether you exported the template from the resource or resource group, or from deployment history.

+# [Bicep](#tab/bicep)
+
+After you export an ARM template, you can decompile the JSON template to Bicep. Then use best practices and the linter to validate your code.
+
+For more information, go to the following articles:
+
+- [Decompiling ARM template JSON to Bicep](../bicep/decompile.md)
+- [Best practices for Bicep](../bicep/best-practices.md)
+- [Add linter settings in the Bicep config file](../bicep/bicep-config-linter.md)
+
+
+# [JSON](#tab/json)
+
+After you export an ARM template, you can learn more about best practices and the toolkit for template validation:
