Working with Products in the API Manager

In API Connect, Plans and APIs are grouped together in Products. You use the API Designer to create, edit, and stage your Product, and the API Manager to manage the Product lifecycle, and the availability and visibility of APIs and Plans.

Note: The API Manager UI also includes the ability to create, edit, and stage Products, however, the preferred method for these tasks is by using the API Designer UI in the developer toolkit. For more information about Products, and how to create and stage them, see Working with Products in the API Designer.

Information about managing Products in the API Manager UI can be found in the following topics.
