+The Sumo Logic Distribution for OpenTelemetry Collector now supports remote management, enabling you to configure and manage data collection directly from the Sumo Logic UI. With this feature, you can:  
+
+* **Simplify configuration**. Set up and manage data collection for multiple collectors without server access.  
+* **Streamline workflows**. Use tags to group collectors and apply centralized Source Templates, reducing redundancy and manual effort.  
+* **Enhance automation**. Automatically monitor new servers by tagging them during setup.  
+* **Accelerate time to value**. Start collecting data in minutes with an intuitive UI and no need to manage configuration files.  
+
+This release provides a faster, more efficient way to manage large-scale data collection, supporting scalable and automated operations. [Learn more](/docs/send-data/opentelemetry-collector/remote-management).

 The Sumo Logic Distribution for OpenTelemetry Collector simplifies remote management of data collection, allowing setup from the Sumo Logic UI and deployment to multiple collectors.
 
+## Key benefits of Remote Management
+
+* Simplified setup and configuration via the Sumo Logic UI.
+* Tag-based collector grouping for efficient data collection.
+* Centralized configuration using [Source Templates](/docs/send-data/opentelemetry-collector/remote-management/source-templates).
+* No server access required after installation.
+* Faster time to value and reduced manual errors.
+
+## Common use cases
+
+* Monitoring error logs across multiple Apache servers.
+* Grouping collectors by environment (e.g., production, staging).
+* Expanding data collection for new services with minimal effort.
+* Simplifying migration from legacy monitoring solutions.
