# How to add a center to an exam
In this article, you can understand how the **Add Center** option allows coordinators to assign exam centers to a specific exam. Centers are not created within this screen, instead, you can select from a list of **existing centers** that are already configured in the partner (center/proctor) tenant.
***
### **Accessing the Add Center Option**
1. Navigate to the **Exams** section.
2. Select the required exam.
3. Go to the **Centers** tab.
4. Click on **+ Add Center**.
***
### **Selecting Centers**
When you click **+ Add Center**, a list of available centers is displayed.
**Key Points to Understand**
* **Pre-configured Centers** The list includes only centers that are already created and available in the partner tenant.
* **No New Center Creation** You cannot create a new center from this screen. Only existing centers can be selected and added.
* **Shared Center Data** These centers may be shared across multiple exams and tenants, depending on configuration.
***
### **Adding a Center to the Exam**
1. From the list, select one or more centers you want to assign to the exam.
2. Confirm your selection.
3. The selected centers will now appear in the **Centers** table for that exam.
***
### **What Happens After Adding a Center**
* The center becomes available for this exam.
* Candidates can view and select from these centers (based on scheduling and availability).
* The center details (location, capacity, contact) will be visible in the Centers tab.
**Important Notes**
* Adding a center only maps it to the exam, it does not modify the center’s original configuration.
* You can remove a center later if it is no longer required for the exam.
> The **Add Center** feature allows coordinators to quickly assign existing centers to an exam by selecting from pre-configured options in the partner tenant. This ensures consistency and avoids duplication of center data.
