If you select **Inbound access** of the added organization, you'll see the **Cross-tenant sync (Preview)** tab and the **Allow users sync into this tenant** check box. Cross-tenant synchronization is a one-way synchronization service in Azure AD that automates creating, updating, and deleting B2B collaboration users across tenants in an organization. For more information, see [Configure cross-tenant synchronization](../../active-directory/multi-tenant-organizations/cross-tenant-synchronization-configure.md) and the [Multi-tenant organizations documentation](/azure/active-directory/multi-tenant-organizations).

With outbound settings, you select which of your users and groups will be able to access the external applications you choose. Whether you're configuring default settings or organization-specific settings, the steps for changing outbound cross-tenant access settings are the same. As described in this section, you'll navigate to either the **Default** tab or an organization on the **Organizational settings** tab, and then make your changes.

Azure AD has a new feature for multi-tenant organizations called cross-tenant synchronization (preview), which allows for a seamless collaboration experience across Azure AD tenants. Cross-tenant synchronization settings are configured under the **Organization-specific access settings**. To learn more about multi-tenant organizations and cross-tenant synchronization see the [Multi-tenant organizations documentation](/azure/active-directory/multi-tenant-organizations).

If you offer a Software as a Service (SaaS) application to many organizations, you can configure your application to accept sign-ins from any Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) tenant. This configuration is called making your application multi-tenant. Users in any Azure AD tenant will be able to sign in to your application after consenting to use their account with your application. See how to [enable multitenant sign-ins](../develop/howto-convert-app-to-be-multi-tenant.md).

### Multi-tenant organizations
172+
173+
A multi-tenant organization is an organization that has more than one instance of Azure AD. There are various reasons for [multi-tenancy](../../active-directory/multi-tenant-organizations/overview.md#what-is-a-multi-tenant-organization), like using multiple clouds or having multiple geographical boundaries. Multi-tenant organizations use a one-way synchronization service in Azure AD, called [cross-tenant synchronization](../../active-directory/multi-tenant-organizations/overview.md#cross-tenant-synchronization-preview). Cross-tenant synchronization enables seamless collaboration for a multi-tenant organization. It improves user experience and ensures that users can access resources, without receiving an invitation email and having to accept a consent prompt in each tenant. Cross-tenant synchronization is currently in preview.
