| 3 | +The diagram shows the components of Dev Box and Deployments Environments. Dev centers and projects are common to both |
| 4 | +services. Both use managed identities to support authentication, and both services provide access for developers through the developer portal. |

| 25 | +## How components appear in the Azure portal |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +As you work with Dev Box or Deployments Environments in the Azure portal, you can access components from both services. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +In the dev center overview, you can access options for: |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +1. Configuring your dev boxes |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +2. Configuring your environments |
| 34 | + |

| 36 | + |
| 37 | +In the projects overview, you can access options for: |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +1. Configuring environment types for a specific project |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +2. Managing dev box pools and environments |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +:::image type="content" source="media/project-overview.png" alt-text="Screenshot showing Dev Box and Deployment Environments components in a project."::: |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +You may also see informational messages that refer to a service you |
| 46 | +aren't using, like this one from the projects overview: |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +:::image type="content" source="media/project-informational.png" alt-text="Screenshot showing an informational message."::: |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +If you're not configuring the service named in the informational |
| 51 | +message, you can safely ignore it. |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +## Developer Portal |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +You can access your dev boxes and deployment environments through the |
| 56 | +[developer portal](https://devportal.microsoft.com/). You'll see |
| 57 | +existing dev boxes and environments displayed as shown in this |
| 58 | +screenshot: |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +:::image type="content" source="media/developer-portal.png" alt-text="Screenshot showing dev boxes and environments in the developer portal."::: |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +You can create new dev boxes and environments through the developer |
| 63 | +portal menu at the top right. |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +:::image type="content" source="media/developer-portal-menu.png" alt-text="Screenshot of developer portal menu."::: |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +And you can manage your existing dev boxes and environments too, |
| 68 | +selecting the more actions menu on the relevant card. Here's an example |
| 69 | +of managing an environment. |
