 ## What is Certify Management Hub?
 
-*Certify Management Hub* provides a single view of all of your managed certificates across your organization, or even across multiple organizations. 
-- You can optionally centrally renew certificates or delegate certificate renewals to individual *Certify Certificate Manager* instances and compatible agents. 
-- The management hub has all of the standard [features](https://certifytheweb.com/home/features) of our existing *Certify Certificate Manager* for ACME certificate renewals and deployment tasks.
-- Existing *Certify Certificate Manager* users (i.e. on Windows) can use the management hub to see and manage certificates across hundreds of servers, while actual certificate renewals can continue to take place directly on the target servers as usual.

 ## Key Features
 
 ### Centralized Management
-With the *Certify Management Hub*, you can view and manage all your certificates in one place. This eliminates the need to log into multiple systems and simplifies the management process.

+Manage all your certificates in one place, eliminating the need to log into multiple systems. While certificates can be centrally managed, you can also retain control over renewals on individual servers, particularly for HTTP domain-validated certificates. The hub serves as a reporting and administration tool for added convenience.
 
 ### Automated Renewals
-Never worry about expired certificates again. The Management Hub automates it's own renewals and provides visibility of the renewal process across multiple Certify Certificate Manager instances, ensuring that your certificates are always valid and up-to-date.
