 To add a gRPC API to API Management, you need to:
 
-* Upload the API's Protobuf (protocol buffer) definition file to API Management
-* Specify the location of your gRPC service
-* Configure the API in API Management

 > [!NOTE]
 > * Currently, gRPC APIs are only supported in the self-hosted gateway, not the managed gateway for your API Management instance.

 ## Prerequisites
 
 * An API Management instance. If you don't already have one, complete the following quickstart: [Create an Azure API Management instance](get-started-create-service-instance.md).
 
 * A gateway resource provisioned in your instance. If you don't already have one, see [Provision a self-hosted gateway in Azure API Management](api-management-howto-provision-self-hosted-gateway.md).
