+Relations can be connected, disconnected or set through the Content API by passing parameters in the body of the request. These payloads work for both single-entry relations and multi relations (one-to-many, many-to-one, many-to-many, and many-way). When a relational field allows multiple links, the API expects arrays of relation IDs and returns arrays in responses.

+Relations where at least one side can reference several entries are called multi relations. In the Content-type Builder, this includes one-to-many, many-to-one, many-to-many, and many-way relations. These relations appear as multi-select fields in the Content Manager and return arrays from the REST, GraphQL, and Document Service APIs; while single relations (one-way and one-to-one relations) return a single linked entry (see [Managing relations with API requests](/cms/api/rest/relations) for more information).
