title: Azure DevOps Release Pipeline Web.Config Edit
body: <p>I know that when creating a release pipeline in Azure DevOps you can have the web.config of an app updated with variables from the pipeline and that works great for all the appSettings values.  </p>
  
  <p>But, during the release pipeline I'd like to update a different section of the web.config, specifically the <code>sessionState</code> provider node. I've tried a few plugins for the release pipeline like Config Transform by Magic Chunks but the problem is it needs you to specify the path of the configuration file to edit but by the time it gets to the release pipeline the source files are in a zip archive.  Somehow the normal transformations of the appSettings are able to work off the unzipped version but I can't get other transformations to happen after the file is unzipped.</p>
  
  <p>I know you can make changes in the build pipeline but there are reasons we want to do it in the release pipeline.  </p>
  
  <p>Anyone know a way to make changes to the web.config outside of the appSettings grouping in a release pipeline for an Azure App Service?</p>
