 All changes made will cause a PR to created in all subscribed azure-sdk language repos which will blindly replace all contents of
 the `eng/common` directory in that repo. For that reason do **NOT** make changes to files in this directory in the individual azure-sdk
 languages repos as they will be overwritten the next time an update is taken from the common azure-sdk-tools repo.

+### Workflow
+
+The 'Sync eng/common directory' PRs will be created in the language repositories once a pull request that touches the eng/common directory is submitted against the master branch. This will make it easier for changes to be tested in each individual language repo before merging the changes in the azure-sdk-tools repo. The workflow is explained below:
+
+1. Create a PR against Azure/azure-sdk-tools:master. This is the **Tools PR**.
+2. `azure-sdk-tools - sync - eng-common` is run automatically. It creates **Sync PRs** in each of the connected language repositories using the format `Sync eng/common directory with azure-sdk-tools for PR {Tools PR Number}`. Each **Sync PR** will contain a link back to the **Tools PR** that triggered it.
+3. More changes pushed to the **Tools PR**, will automatically triggered new pipeline runs in the respective **Sync PRs**. The **Sync PRs** are used to make sure the changes would not break any of the connected pipelines.
+4. Once satisfied with the changes;
+    - First merge all the **Sync PRs**. The **Tools PR** contains links to all the **Sync PRs**
+    - Finally merge the **Tools PR**. Each **Sync PR** contains the link to the corresponding **Tools PR**.
