 ## Troubleshooting
 
-### Error: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'nextLink')
-
-Under certain conditions, a user might encounter the following error message after signing into the API Center portal and expanding the APIs list for an API center:
-
-`Error: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'nextLink')`
-
-Check that the user is assigned the **Azure API Center Data Reader** role in the API center. If necessary, reassign the role to the user. Then, refresh the API Center portal in the Visual Studio Code extension.
-
 ### Unable to sign in to Azure
 
-If users who have been assigned the **Azure API Center Data Reader** role can't complete the sign-in flow after selecting **Sign in to Azure** in the API Center portal, there might be a problem with the configuration of the connection.
+If users who have been assigned the **Azure API Center Data Reader** role can't complete the sign-in flow after selecting **Sign in to Azure** in the API Center portal view, there might be a problem with the configuration of the connection.
 
 Check the settings in the app registration you configured in Microsoft Entra ID. Confirm the values of the application (client) ID and the directory (tenant) ID in the app registration and the runtime URL of the API center. Then, set up the connection to the API center again.
 
-### Unable to select Azure API Center permissions in Microsoft Entra ID app registration
-
-If you're unable to request API permissions to Azure API Center in your Microsoft Entra app registration for the API Center portal, check that you are searching for **Azure API Center** (or application ID `c3ca1a77-7a87-4dba-b8f8-eea115ae4573`). 
-
-If the app isn't present, there might be a problem with the registration of the **Microsoft.ApiCenter** resource provider in your subscription. You might need to re-register the resource provider. To do this, run the following command in the Azure CLI:
-
-```azurecli
-az provider register --namespace Microsoft.ApiCenter
-```
-
-After re-registering the resource provider, try again to request API permissions.
