-Import of an Azure Function App automatically generates:
+When you import an Azure function app, these items are automactically generated:
 
-* Host key inside the Function App with the name apim-{*your Azure API Management service instance name*},
-* Named value inside the Azure API Management instance with the name {*your Azure Function App instance name*}-key, which contains the created host key.
+* A host key in the function app. The key is named `apim-<your API Management service instance name>`.
+* A named value in the API Management instance that has the name `<your Azure function app instance name>-key`. This value contains the host key.
 
-For APIs created after April 4th 2019, the host key is passed in HTTP requests from API Management to the Function App in a header. Older APIs pass the host key as [a query parameter](../azure-functions/functions-bindings-http-webhook-trigger.md#api-key-authorization). You can change this behavior through the `PATCH Backend` [REST API call](/rest/api/apimanagement/current-ga/backend/update#backendcredentialscontract) on the *Backend* entity associated with the Function App.
