In this article we will review Integration Hub app as an Azure DevOps Extension.
If you plan to synchronize data between Project Online and Azure DevOps, we recommend installing Integration Hub as an Azure DevOps Extension. In this case, after Project Online <> Azure DevOps scenario is configured within Integration Hub, you may launch data synchronization from Azure DevOps directly, without switching to Integration Hub app.
Also, in this case, it is possible to launch data synchronization for one project only (for each project from Azure DevOps or Project Online separately) or for all projects at one go.
To install Integration Hub as an Azure DevOps extension, please refer to the How to install Integration Hub article.
Integration Hub adds several tabs and menu items inside Azure DevOps.
