 ## Script Set Up
 
+Save the AutoExport.ps1 and AutoExportBlobRetention.ps1 files locally to make these edits
+
 1. In the AutoExport.ps1 script, here are the values that need to be modified:
 	- $databaseServerPairs: This is where you put in the names of the databases you want to export along with the name of the server they are on.
+	Add them in the format: `[pscustomobject]@{serverName="SAMPLESERVER1";databaseName="SAMPLEDATABASE1"}` make sure to comma separate the items
 	- $serverCredentialsDictionary: If you are backing up from multiple servers, you can setup all of the credentials here and look them up by the server’s name later.
+	Add a $serverCred variable in the format `$serverCred1 = Get-AutomationPSCredential -Name 'NAMEOFSERVERCREDENTIAL1';` for each Azure Automation Credential you created. Increment the variable name (eg. $serverCred2 $serverCred3) for each one.
+	Add the $serverCreds to the dictionary in the format `'SAMPLESERVERNAME1'=$serverCred1;`
 	- $batchingLimit: This tells the script how many databases can be worked on at the same time (basically, the maximum number of database copies that there will be at once).
 	- $retryLimit: This tells the script how many times it can retry an operation.
 	- $waitTimeInMinutes: This tells the script how long it can wait for an operation to complete before it fails.
-	- $storageKeyVariableName: This is the AutomationAccount you created the StorageKey variable under (probably the same one you are running the RunBook under) and -Name is the name of the variable.
+	- $storageKeyVariableName: This is the Azure Automation string Variable name you created to store your Storage Key.
 	- $storageAccountName: This is the name of the storage account you are exporting to.
 	- $connectionAssetName: Connection Asset Name for Authenticating (Keep as AzureClassicRunAsConnection if you created the default RunAs accounts) 
 2. In AutoExportBlobRetention, here are the values that need to be modified:
-	- -Name for Get-AzureAutomationVariable: This is the AutomationAccount you created the StorageKey variable under (probably the same one you are running the RunBook under) and -Name is the name of the variable.
-	- $storageContainer: This is the name of the storage container where you will be monitoring the exported blobs.
+	- $storageKeyVariableName: This is the Azure Automation string Variable name you created to store your Storage Key.
+	- $storageAccountName: This is the name of your Storage Account you exported your bacpacs to.
+	- $storageContainerName: This is the name of the storage container where you will be monitoring the exported blobs.
 	- $retentionInDays: This is how many days you want to keep the exported blobs stored for before deleting.

+## Adding the Script to Azure Automation
+
+1. Import the scripts as Azure Automation Runbooks
+	- Create runbooks from the scripts you editted above by [following the instructions here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/automation/automation-creating-importing-runbook#to-import-a-runbook-from-a-file-with-the-azure-portal) for both scripts.
+	- [Make sure to publish the runbook.](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/automation/automation-creating-importing-runbook#to-publish-a-runbook-using-the-azure-portal)
+2. Add a schedule for your Automated Export runbook
+	- Create a recurring schedule by [following the instructions here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/automation/automation-schedules#to-create-a-new-schedule-in-the-azure-portal).
+	- Link the schedule(s) you created to the runbooks by [following the instructions here](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/automation/automation-schedules#to-link-a-schedule-to-a-runbook-with-the-azure-portal).
+	
+You should now be all set up for Automated Exports into blob storage of your selected SQL Azure databases.
