 ### Lead management
 
 When publishing your offer to the commercial marketplace with Partner Center, connect it to your Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. This lets you receive customer contact information as soon as someone expresses interest in or uses your product. Connecting to a CRM is required if you will enable **Test Drive** (see prior section), otherwise it's optional.
 
 1. Select a lead destination where you want us to send customer leads. Partner Center supports the following CRM systems:
-    - [Dynamics 365](https://aka.ms/Dyn365LeadMgmt) for customer engagement

Then export the data to your CRM system.
 
 2. Connect your offer to the lead destination when publishing in Partner Center.
 3. Confirm that the connection to the lead destination is configured properly. After you publish it in Partner Center, we'll validate the connection and send you a test lead. While you preview the offer before it goes live, you can also test your lead connection by trying to deploy the offer yourself in the preview environment.
