Summary:
The documentation provides detailed instructions for moving an Azure SignalR resource using the Azure portal and Azure PowerShell, but does not include equivalent examples for Linux or cross-platform command-line tools such as Azure CLI. The PowerShell section assumes a Windows environment (e.g., use of 'notepad'), and no Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux-native editor alternatives are mentioned. This creates a bias towards Windows users and omits guidance for Linux or macOS users.
Recommendations:
- Add equivalent instructions using Azure CLI (az) for exporting, editing, and deploying ARM templates, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux and macOS.
- When referencing file editing, suggest cross-platform editors (e.g., 'nano', 'vim', 'code', or 'your preferred editor') instead of only 'notepad'.
- Include Bash or shell command examples alongside PowerShell, especially for steps like file manipulation and deployment.
- Structure the documentation so that cross-platform or platform-neutral approaches (like Azure CLI or portal) are presented before or alongside Windows-specific (PowerShell) instructions.
- Explicitly state that the steps can be performed on any OS, and provide notes or links for Linux/macOS users where workflows or commands may differ.

Flagged Code Snippets
1. To verify that the resources were created in the target region, use [Get-AzResourceGroup](/powershell/module/az.resources/get-azresourcegroup) and [Get-AzSignalR](/powershell/module/az.signalr/get-azsignalr):
1. To obtain region location codes, see [Azure SignalR Locations](https://azure.microsoft.com/global-infrastructure/services/?products=signalr-service). The code for a region is the region name with no spaces, **Central US** = **centralus**.
You can also change other parameters in the template if you choose, depending on your requirements.
1. Save the *\<resource-group-name>.json* file.
1. Create a resource group in the target region for the target SignalR resource to be deployed using [New-AzResourceGroup](/powershell/module/az.resources/new-azresourcegroup).
1. Deploy the edited *\<resource-group-name>.json* file to the resource group created in the previous step using [New-AzResourceGroupDeployment](/powershell/module/az.resources/new-azresourcegroupdeployment):
> [!NOTE]
>
> After the deployment, if you wish to start over or discard the SignalR resource in the target, delete the resource group that was created in the target, which deletes the moved SignalR resource. To do so, select the resource group from your dashboard in the portal and select **Delete** at the top of the overview page. Alternatively you can use [Remove-AzResourceGroup](/powershell/module/az.resources/remove-azresourcegroup):
