-## Create a Starter Function
+## Creating your functions
+
+We'll now create the three functions you need to get started with Durable Functions: an HTTP starter, an orchestrator, and an activity function. The HTTP starter will initiate your entire solution, and the orchestrator will dispatch work to various activity functions.
+
+### HTTP starter
 
 First, create an HTTP triggered function that starts a durable function orchestration.
 
-1. From **Azure: Functions**, choose the Create Function icon.

-4. Replace index.js with the below JavaScript:
-
-    [!code-javascript[Main](~/samples-durable-functions/samples/javascript/HttpStart/index.js)]
-
-5. Replace function.json with the below JSON:
-
-    [!code-json[Main](~/samples-durable-functions/samples/javascript/HttpStart/function.json)]

 We've now created an entry-point into our Durable Function. Let's add an orchestrator.
 
-## Create an Orchestrator Function
-
-Next, you create another function to be the orchestrator. We use the HTTP trigger function template for convenience. The function code itself is replaced by the orchestrator code.
+### Orchestrator
 
-1. Repeat the steps from the previous section to create a second function using the HTTP trigger template. This time name the function `OrchestratorFunction`.
+Now, we'll create an orchestrator to coordinate activity functions.
 
-2. Open the index.js file for the new function and replace the contents with the following code:
+1. From *Azure: Functions*, choose the **Create Function** icon.
 
-    [!code-json[Main](~/samples-durable-functions/samples/javascript/E1_HelloSequence/index.js)]
+    ![Create a function](./media/quickstart-js-vscode/create-function.png)
 
-3. Open the function.json file and replace it with the following JSON:
+2. Select the folder with your function app project and select the **Durable Functions orchestrator** function template. Leave the name as the default "DurableFunctionsOrchestrator"
 
-    [!code-json[Main](~/samples-durable-functions/samples/javascript/E1_HelloSequence/function.json)]
+    ![Choose the orchestrator template](./media/quickstart-js-vscode/create-function-choose-template.png)
 
 We've added an orchestrator to coordinate activity functions. Let's now add the referenced activity function.
 
-## Create an Activity Function
+### Activity
 
-1. Repeat the steps from the previous sections to create a third function using the HTTP trigger template. But this time name the function  `E1_SayHello`.
+Now, we'll create an activity function to actually carry out the work of the solution.
 
-2. Open the index.js file for the new function and replace the contents with the following code:
+1. From *Azure: Functions*, choose the **Create Function** icon.
 
-    [!code-javascript[Main](~/samples-durable-functions/samples/javascript/E1_SayHello/index.js)]
+    ![Create a function](./media/quickstart-js-vscode/create-function.png)
 
-3. Replace function.json with the below JSON:
+2. Select the folder with your function app project and select the **Durable Functions activity** function template. Leave the name as the default "Hello".
 
-    [!code-json[Main](~/samples-durable-functions/samples/csx/E1_SayHello/function.json)]
+    ![Choose the activity template](./media/quickstart-js-vscode/create-function-choose-template.png)
 
 We've now added all components needed to start off an orchestration and chain together activity functions.

    The response is the initial result from the HTTP function letting us know the durable orchestration has started successfully. It is not yet the end result of the orchestration. The response includes a few useful URLs. For now, let's query the status of the orchestration.
 
 6. Copy the URL value for `statusQueryGetUri` and paste it in the browser's address bar and execute the request. Alternatively you can also continue to use Postman to issue the GET request.
