 ### Integration with AzOps Accelerator
 
-The [AzOps Accelerator pipelines](https://github.com/azure/azops-accelerator) (including `Git Hub Actions` & `Azure Pipelines`) have been updated to incorporate the execution of the new resource deletion feature.

 Conditional logic has been implemented to call `Invoke-AzOpsPush` with required change set in case of resource deletion operation, while existing logic without resource deletion remains same.

+### How to Add AzOps Resource Deletion to existing AzOps - Push and Validate pipelines (applicable to implementations created prior to AzOps release v1.6.0)
+
+1. Update the `AzOps - Push` pipeline by copying content from the latest upstream [push.yml](https://github.com/Azure/AzOps-Accelerator/blob/main/.pipelines/push.yml) file into your existing file.
+2. Update the `AzOps - Validate` pipeline by copying content from the latest upstream [validate.yml](https://github.com/Azure/AzOps-Accelerator/blob/main/.pipelines/validate.yml) file into your existing file.
