When you add an external network provider, a check box allows you to automatically synchronize your cluster networks with the networks imported from the default network provider. The networks are immediately available for the virtual machines.

It looks like the scope of this RFE has since changed so that it does not include a UI element: Currently, the property is only available in rest-api and not available in webadmin. For backward compatibility, the property is set to 'disabled' by default in rest-api and webadmin. If you think the property should be available in webadmin, please create a bug with a proposed default value to track this. Since we track REST API docs separately, we may not need this RFE after all, but I won't close it just yet, pending the final outcome of the eng RFE.

No UI element will be added for 4.2 GA, so https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1511823 stays valid as it is.

Thanks, Dominik. So, to confirm, there is nothing new for us to document (apart from the REST API changes) in terms of the UI for 4.2? If that's the case, I will close this bug. As an aside, is the doc text for bug 1511823 still true, given that it talks about a check box? Feel free to make any changes to that text, and we can review it again.
Sorry, I forgot about the checkbox added in bug 546668. So the doc text for bug 1511823 is correct.

Accepting into GA program and assigning to Billy for review.
Reviewed and merged.
