 ### Creating models from assets
 
 If you have a folder with an MLModel MLflow model, then you can register it directly. There's no need for the model to be always in the context of a run. To do that you can use the URI schema `file://path/to/model` to register MLflow models stored in the local file system. Let's create a simple model using `Scikit-Learn` and save it in MLflow format in the local storage:

 ## Querying model registries
 
 ### Querying all the models in the registry
 
-You can query all the registered models in the registry using the MLflow client with the method `list_registered_models`. The MLflow client is required to do all these operations.
