API Management APIs automatically synchronize to the API center whenever there are changes detected to existing API properties, new versions are added, new APIs are created, or APIs are deleted. This synchronization is one-way from API Management to your Azure API center, meaning API updates in the API center aren't synchronized back to the API Management instance.
