= Registering a schema in {registry}

[role="_abstract"]
After you have defined a schema in the appropriate format, such as Apache Avro, you can add the schema to {registry}.

You can add the schema using the following approaches:

* {registry} web console
* curl command using the {registry} REST API
* Maven plug-in supplied with {registry}
* Schema configuration added to your client code

Client applications cannot use {registry} until you have registered your schemas.

== {registry} web console

When {registry} is installed, you can connect to the web console from the `ui` endpoint:

`\http://MY-REGISTRY-URL/ui`

From the console, you can add, view and configure schemas. You can also create the rules that prevent invalid content being added to the registry.

For more information on using the {registry} web console, see the {service-registry-doc}.
