 # AVM Post Deployment Guide
+
+> **📋 Note**: This guide is specifically for post-deployment steps after using the AVM template. For complete deployment from scratch, see the main [Deployment Guide](./DeploymentGuide.md).
+
+---
+
 This document provides guidance on post-deployment steps after deploying the Build Your Own Copilot Accelerator from the [AVM (Azure Verified Modules) repository](https://github.com/Azure/bicep-registry-modules/tree/main/avm/ptn/sa/build-your-own-copilot).
 
 ## Post Deployment Steps
-1. Clone the Repository
-    First, clone this repository to access the post-deployment scripts:
-    ```bash
-    git clone https://github.com/microsoft/Build-your-own-copilot-Solution-Accelerator.git
-    ```
-    ```bash
-    cd Build-your-own-copilot-Solution-Accelerator
-    ```
 
-2. Import Sample Data -Run bash command printed in the terminal. The bash command will look like the following:
+### 1. Clone the Repository
+First, clone this repository to access the post-deployment scripts:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/microsoft/Build-your-own-copilot-Solution-Accelerator.git
+cd Build-your-own-copilot-Solution-Accelerator
+```
+
+### 2. Import Sample Data 
+
+**Choose the appropriate command based on your deployment method:**
+
+**If you deployed using custom templates, ARM/Bicep deployments, or `az deployment group` commands:**
+```bash 
+bash ./infra/scripts/process_sample_data.sh <your-resource-group-name>
+```
+> **Note**: Replace `<your-resource-group-name>` with the actual name of the resource group containing your deployed Azure resources.
+
+> **💡 Tip**: If the deployment metadata does not exist in Azure or has been deleted, the script will prompt you to manually enter the required configuration values.
+
+**If you deployed using `azd up` command:**
+```bash 
+bash ./infra/scripts/process_sample_data.sh 
+```
+> **Note**: The script will automatically take required values from your `azd` environment.
+
+> **💡 Tip**: Since this guide is for AVM deployments, you'll most likely use the first command with your resource group name.
+
+### 3. Configure Authentication
 
-    ```bash 
-    bash ./infra/scripts/process_sample_data.sh <resourceGroupName> 
-    ```
-    If the deployment does not exist or has been deleted – The script will prompt you to manually enter the required values
+Follow the steps in [App Authentication](./AppAuthentication.md) to configure authentication in App Service. 
 
-3. Add Authentication Provider
+> **Note**: Authentication changes can take up to 10 minutes to propagate.
 
-    Follow steps in [App Authentication](https://github.com/microsoft/Build-your-own-copilot-Solution-Accelerator/blob/main/docs/AppAuthentication.md) to configure authentication in app service. 
-    >Note that Authentication changes can take up to 10 minutes.
+### 4. Troubleshooting: Cleaning Up After a Failed Deployment
 
-4. Deleting Resources After a Failed Deployment
+If your deployment fails and you need to clean up resources, follow the steps in [Delete Resource Group](./DeleteResourceGroup.md).
 
-    Follow steps in [Delete Resource Group](https://github.com/microsoft/Build-your-own-copilot-Solution-Accelerator/blob/main/docs/DeleteResourceGroup.md) if your deployment fails and/or you need to clean up the resources.

-By following these steps, you’ll ensure a smooth transition from deployment to hands-on usage.

 ## Environment configuration for local development & debugging
 > Set APP_ENV in your .env file to control Azure authentication. Set the environment variable to dev to use Azure CLI credentials, or to prod to use Managed Identity for production. **Ensure you're logged in via az login when using dev in local**.
