-This article demonstrates how to deploy a virtual network in a managed tenant (Tenant B) using an IP address allocation from an Azure Virtual Network Manager IP address management (IPAM) pool in a management tenant (Tenant A). You use the Azure portal to configure cross-tenant IPAM, enabling centralized IP address management across multiple tenants. This guide also covers prerequisites, configuration steps, and how to remove IPAM allocations.
+Managing IP addresses across multiple Azure tenants can be complex, especially in large or distributed organizations. Azure Virtual Network Manager simplifies this process by enabling centralized IP address management (IPAM) across tenants. This article shows you how to deploy a virtual network in a managed tenant using an IP address allocation from an IPAM pool in a management tenant, all through the Azure portal. You'll learn about prerequisites, step-by-step configuration, and how to remove IPAM allocations when they're no longer needed.
 
 ## Prerequisites
 
 - An Azure account with an active subscription. [Create an account for free](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/?WT.mc_id=A261C142F).
+
 - Two Azure tenants: a management tenant (Tenant A) and a managed tenant (Tenant B)
     - Management tenant (Tenant A) must have:
         - An Azure Virtual Network Manager instance. If you don't have a network manager instance, see [Create a network manager instance](create-virtual-network-manager-portal.md).

 ### Verify the cross-tenant association
 
 1. In Tenant A's portal view, navigate to your IP address pool and select **Allocations** under **Settings**.
+
 1. Select **Resources** and verify that the virtual network from Tenant B is listed as an allocated resource.
+
 1. Switch to Tenant B's portal view and navigate to the virtual network that received the allocation.
+
 1. Select **Subnets** under **Settings** and verify the name listed under **IPAM pool** matches the name of the IPAM pool in the management tenant (Tenant A).

 To remove an IP allocation from a cross-tenant resource:
 
 1. Sign in to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com/) with credentials for Tenant A.
+
 1. Navigate to **Azure Virtual Network Manager** and locate your network manager instance.
+
 1. Select **IP address pools** under **IP address management**.
+
 1. On the **IP address pools** page, select **Allocations** under **Settings**.
+
 1. Select the virtual network that you want to remove the IPAM allocation from.
+
 1. Select **X Remove**.
