Connections
Settings > Connections holds the credentials and endpoints of external systems that adapters and pipelines use. The page replaces the former Configurations page: there is no toolbar with one button per type any more. Every connection type is a card; a card shows "Not configured" or the number of entries ("2 connections"). A click opens the list of that type, and New … creates an entry.

| All configurations | Every configuration of the tenant, including types without their own card |
A connection type
The list of a type, for example E-mail sender configuration, shows the entries with their key fields (Name, SMTP host, Sender) and the actions New E-mail sender configuration, the usual Export to Excel, Export to PDF and Refresh Data. Without entries the list says "No entries yet". The form of an entry shows the fields of the type.
The form of an entry shows the fields of its type, here a new e-mail sender configuration and a new SAP configuration (nothing is saved until you click Save):
Secret fields (passwords, client secrets, tokens) are write-only: you enter a value, it is stored encrypted and never displayed again; the form and the Secrets page only show whether a value is set. Never write real servers, passwords or tokens into examples or tickets.
All configurations
Settings > Connections > All configurations lists every configuration of the tenant (Name, Type, Changed, Actions, for example Helm repositories, service accounts, tenant configuration and the mail notification configuration) and has the button New Configuration, the row filter and the usual exports. Use it for types that have no card of their own.
