Resolved State

The APIs in the provider view of API Hub for Portal are in an unresolved state. The API is in a resolved state after a Preview or Publish action. A resolved state means that the APIs also show:

  • Contents of external references, if there are external references in the API.

  • Domains information, if domains are referenced in the API in API Hub for Design.

Note

You can only view APIs in API Hub for Portal. To edit APIs, go to API Hub for Design.
