The Published APIs tab shows all the published APIs sorted by the Last Modified Date.
2Click the Actions menu on the row of the selected published API and select Create a Designed API.
This option is available only for a REST API that is published from an Application Integration process.
The Create Designed API dialog box appears.
3On the Location tab, select a project or folder, and then click Next.
4On the API Details tab, enter the required information.

You can't edit the API Name after you create the API.
The API Name can contain up to 50 characters, including ASCII letters, digits, Japanese characters, hyphens, dashes, and underscores.

The name is auto-generated based on the API name that you enter.

The Version field is auto-generated.
The version number remains v1 on API Details tab of the Create Designed API dialog box. The version number gets incremented when you create a new version of the newly created designed API.
5Click Next.
The Summary tab displays all the configured details.
6Click Create.
The designed API is created and published. The Provider Source Name of the published API gets updated by the designed API name and is appended with the version number (v1).
The Provider field of the designed API changes to API Center and you can't create another designed API from this published API. The Last Modified Date gets updated to the time of creation of the designed API.
You can then edit the designed API or create a managed API from the published API. For more information, see Creating a managed API.
The Updates Available icon under the Published API Name column on the Managed APIs tab in the API Console page denotes that a designed API is updated and published. You can view, compare, and accept the available updates. For more information, see Viewing and accepting updates for managed APIs.
