 # Connect a MongoDB application to Azure Cosmos DB
+
 [!INCLUDE[MongoDB](../includes/appliesto-mongodb.md)]
 
 Learn how to connect your MongoDB app to an Azure Cosmos DB by using a MongoDB connection string. You can then use an Azure Cosmos DB database as the data store for your MongoDB app.
 
 This tutorial provides two ways to retrieve connection string information:
 
-- [The quickstart method](#get-the-mongodb-connection-string-by-using-the-quick-start), for use with .NET, Node.js, MongoDB Shell, Java, and Python drivers
-- [The custom connection string method](#get-the-mongodb-connection-string-to-customize), for use with other drivers

 ## Prerequisites
 
-- An Azure account. If you don't have an Azure account, create a [free Azure account](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/) now.
-- An Azure Cosmos DB account. For instructions, see [Build a web app using Azure Cosmos DB's API for MongoDB and .NET SDK](create-mongodb-dotnet.md).

 ## Get the MongoDB connection string by using the quick start
 
 1. In an Internet browser, sign in to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com).
-2. In the **Azure Cosmos DB** blade, select the API.
-3. In the left pane of the account blade, click **Quick start**.
-4. Choose your platform (**.NET**, **Node.js**, **MongoDB Shell**, **Java**, **Python**). If you don't see your driver or tool listed, don't worry--we continuously document more connection code snippets. Please comment below on what you'd like to see. To learn how to craft your own connection, read [Get the account's connection string information](#get-the-mongodb-connection-string-to-customize).
-5. Copy and paste the code snippet into your MongoDB app.

 ## Get the MongoDB connection string to customize
 
 1. In an Internet browser, sign in to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com).
-2. In the **Azure Cosmos DB** blade, select the API.
-3. In the left pane of the account blade, click **Connection String**.
-4. The **Connection String** blade opens. It has all the information necessary to connect to the account by using a driver for MongoDB, including a preconstructed connection string.
