+Send data to Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 in Azure IoT Operations by configuring a data flow endpoint. This configuration allows you to specify the destination endpoint, authentication method, table, and other settings.
 
 ## Prerequisites
 
-- An instance of [Azure IoT Operations](../deploy-iot-ops/howto-deploy-iot-operations.md)
-- An [Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 account](../../storage/blobs/create-data-lake-storage-account.md)
-- A pre-created storage container in the storage account

+- A storage container that is already created in the storage account.
 
 ## Assign permission to managed identity
 
-To configure a data flow endpoint for Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2, we recommend using either a user-assigned or system-assigned managed identity. This approach is secure and eliminates the need for managing credentials manually.
+To configure a data flow endpoint for Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2, use either a user-assigned or system-assigned managed identity. This approach is secure and removes the need to manage credentials manually.
 
 After the Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 is created, you need to assign a role to the Azure IoT Operations managed identity that grants permission to write to the storage account.

Copy the name of the extension listed after **Azure IoT Operations Arc extension**. For example, *azure-iot-operations-xxxx7*.
