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).

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**.

Increasingly, organizations are finding the need to collaborate with organizations and users across global cloud and national cloud boundaries. With Microsoft cloud settings, you can establish mutual B2B collaboration between the following Microsoft Azure clouds:

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

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.
