-# Configure a virtual network in Azure DevTest Labs
-As explained in the article [Add a VM to a lab](devtest-lab-add-vm.md), when you create a VM in a lab, you can specify a configured virtual network. 
-For example, you might need to access your corpnet resources from your VMs using the virtual network that was configured with ExpressRoute or site-to-site VPN.
+# Add a virtual network in Azure DevTest Labs
 
-This article explains how to add your existing virtual network into a lab's Virtual Network settings so that it is available to choose when creating VMs.
+Azure DevTest Labs creates a new virtual network for each lab. If you have another virtual network configured with Azure ExpressRoute or site-to-site VPN, you can add it to your lab. You can then create lab virtual machines (VMs) in that virtual network. This article explains how to add a virtual network to a lab and configure it for creating lab VMs.

+## Add a virtual network to a lab
 
-## Configure a virtual network for a lab using the Azure portal
-The following steps walk you through adding an existing virtual network (and subnet) to a lab so that it can be used when creating a VM in the same lab. 
+To add a configured virtual network and subnet to a lab, take the following steps:
 
-1. Sign in to the [Azure portal](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=525040).
-1. Select **All Services**, and then select **DevTest Labs** from the list.
-1. From the list of labs, select the desired lab. 
-1. On the lab's main pane, select **Configuration and policies**.
+1. In the [Azure portal](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=525040), on the **Overview** page for your lab, select **Configuration and policies** from the left navigation.
 
-    ![Access the lab's configuration and policies](./media/devtest-lab-configure-vnet/policies-menu.png)
-1. In the **EXTERNAL RESOURCES** section, select **Virtual networks**. A list of virtual networks configured for the current lab is displayed as well as the default virtual network created for your lab. 
-1. Select **+ Add**.

-1. On the **Choose virtual network** pane, select the desired virtual network. A list is displayed showing all of the virtual networks that are under the same region in the subscription as the lab.
-1. After selecting a virtual network, you are returned to the **Virtual network** pane. Select the subnet in the list at the bottom.

-    ![Lab subnet pane](./media/devtest-lab-configure-vnet/lab-subnet.png)
-     
-   - Specify a **Lab subnet name**.
-   - To allow a subnet to be used in lab VM creation, select **Use in virtual machine creation**.
-   - To enable a [shared public IP address](devtest-lab-shared-ip.md), select **Enable shared public IP**.
-   - To allow public IP addresses in a subnet, select **Allow public IP creation**.
-   - In the **Maximum virtual machines per user** field, specify the maximum VMs per user for each subnet. If you want an unrestricted number of VMs, leave this field blank.
-1. Select **OK** to close the Lab Subnet pane.
-1. Select **Save** to close the Virtual network pane.
+1. The chosen virtual network now appears in the list on the lab's **Virtual networks** page. Select the new network name.
 
-Now that the virtual network is configured, it can be selected when creating a VM. 
-    To see how to create a VM and specify a virtual network, refer to the article, [Add a VM to a lab](devtest-lab-add-vm.md). 
+1. The **Virtual network** page shows the subnets for the virtual network. Select a subnet to configure.
 
-Azure's [Virtual Network Documentation](../virtual-network/index.yml) provides more information about how to use VNets, including how to set up and manage a VNet and connect it to your on-premises network.
+1. On the **Lab Subnet** pane, select **Yes** or **No** under the following options:
 
-[!INCLUDE [devtest-lab-try-it-out](../../includes/devtest-lab-try-it-out.md)]
+   - **Use in virtual machine creation** to allow VM creation in the subnet.
+   - **Enable shared public IP** to enable a [shared public IP address](devtest-lab-shared-ip.md).
+   - **Allow public IP creation** to allow public IP addresses in the subnet
+
+1. Under **Maximum virtual machines per user**, enter the maximum number of VMs each user can create in the subnet. If you don't want to restrict the number of VMs, leave this field blank.
+
+1. Select **Save**.

+If you chose to allow VM creation in one of the subnets, you can now use the configured virtual network to [create lab VMs](devtest-lab-add-vm.md).
+
+## Add a virtual network during VM creation
+
+You can also specify a configured virtual network to use at the time you create a VM in a lab. For complete details and instructions, see [Create and add virtual machines](devtest-lab-add-vm.md).
 
 ## Next steps
