-This article describes how to create a Microsoft Direct peering for an Internet Service Provider or Internet Exchange Provider by using the Azure portal. This article also shows how to check the status of the resource, update it, or delete and de-provision it.
+In this article, you learn how to create a Microsoft Direct peering for an Internet Service Provider or Internet Exchange Provider using the Azure portal. This article also shows how to check the status of the resource, update it, or delete it.
 
 If you prefer, you can complete this guide by using Azure [PowerShell](howto-direct-powershell.md).
 
-## Before you begin
-* Review the [prerequisites](prerequisites.md) and the [Direct peering walkthrough](walkthrough-direct-all.md) before you begin configuration.
-* If you already have Direct peering connections with Microsoft that aren't converted to Azure resources, see [Convert a legacy Direct peering to an Azure resource by using the portal](howto-legacy-direct-portal.md).
+## Prerequisites
 
-## Create and provision a Direct peering
+- Review the [Prerequisites to set up peering with Microsoft](prerequisites.md) and the [Direct peering walkthrough](walkthrough-direct-all.md) before you begin configuration.
 
-### Sign in to the portal and select your subscription
-[!INCLUDE [Account](./includes/account-portal.md)]
+- If you already have Direct peering connections with Microsoft that aren't converted to Azure resources, see [Convert a legacy Direct peering to an Azure resource by using the portal](howto-legacy-direct-portal.md).
 
-### <a name=create></a>Create a Direct peering
+## Sign in to Azure
 
-As an Internet Service Provider or Internet Exchange Provider, you can create a new direct peering request by [Creating a Peering]( https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2129593).
+Sign in to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com).
 
-1. On the **Create a Peering** page, on the **Basics** tab, fill in the boxes as shown here:
+## Create a Direct peering
 
+As an Internet Service Provider or Internet Exchange Provider, you can create a new direct peering using the Azure portal:
 
-    ![Screenshot shows the Create a Peering page Basics tab with the Create new link called out.](./media/setup-basics-tab.png)
+1. In the search box at the top of the portal, enter ***peering***. Select **Peerings** from the search results.
 
-2. Select your Azure Subscription.
+1. On the **Peerings** page, select **+ Create**.
 
-3. For Resource group, you can either choose an existing resource group from the drop-down list or create a new group by selecting Create new. We'll create a new resource group for this example.
+1. On the **Create a Peering** page, on the **Basics** tab, fill in the boxes as shown here:
 
-4. Name corresponds to the resource name and can be anything you choose.
+1. On the **Basics** tab of **Create a Peering** page, enter, or select the following values:
 
-5. Region is auto-selected if you chose an existing resource group. If you chose to create a new resource group, you also need to choose the Azure region where you want the resource to reside.
 
-    >[!NOTE]
-    > The region where a resource group resides is independent of the location where you want to create peering with Microsoft. But it's a best practice to organize your peering resources within resource groups that reside in the closest Azure regions. For example, for peerings in Ashburn, you can create a resource group in East US or East US2.
+    | Setting | Value |
+    | --- | --- |
+    | **Project Details** |  |
+    | Subscription | Select your Azure subscription. |
+    | Resource Group | Select a resource group or create a new one. |
+    | **Instance details** |  |
+    | Name | Enter a name for the peering you're creating. |
+    | Peer ASN | Select your ASN. |
 
-6. Select your ASN in the **PeerASN** box.

     >[!IMPORTANT]
     >You can only choose an ASN with ValidationState as Approved before you submit a peering request. If you just submitted your PeerAsn request, wait for 12 hours or so for ASN association to be approved. If the ASN you select is pending validation, you'll see an error message. If you don't see the ASN you need to choose, check that you selected the correct subscription. If so, check if you have already created PeerAsn by using **[Associate Peer ASN to Azure subscription](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2129592)**.
