# How do I add my API token to Wix Secret Manager?

1. After creating the token, copy the token from the API Token Management dashboard.
2. Open your **Wix Dashboard** → **Developer Tools** → **Secrets Manager.**

**Why use Secret Manager in WIX?**

**Easy maintenance:** If the token expires or needs rotation, you only need to update it in Secrets Manager. You do not have to modify every Velo code file where the token is used.

\
**Centralized management:** All Velo code actions can access the same token consistently, reducing errors.
