How to connect a gateway in Azure iot Central

recently MS has released a new feature regarding IoT-Central. One of these features is about connecting an Iot-Node/Device to Iot-Central as Gateway. Since I haven't found any documentation about it, I would like to know if anyone knows how to use it.

Thank you very much for your efforts in advance. :)

Assuming you are asking about the newly announced preview for connecting IoT Edge devices (for use as gateways) to IoT Central, here is the corresponding tutorials to get started:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-central/core/tutorial-define-edge-device-type-pnp
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-central/core/tutorial-add-edge-as-leaf-device

Note that this feature is still in preview. As a general note, to find documentation for preview features in IoT Central, you can find the link at the root of the IoT Central documentation for the generally available features (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-central/core/overview-iot-central-pnp).

I did some tests using IOT Central. The way I found to connect a device to IOT Central Hub was using DPS Key Gen to generate the connection string, then use it to send data.
