This article shows how to create a link (preview) to an API Management instance in your [API center](overview.md) using the Azure portal.
Linking an API Management instance automates the regular synchronization of APIs from API Management to your API center inventory. This makes the API Management APIs easily discoverable and accessible to developers, API program managers, and other stakeholders.

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.
