# Managing Connections

> Monitor, update, and organize every app you have connected to Glow, from one central page.

The **Connections** page is the central place to find apps, add your own accounts and manage the connections you created.

*Connected apps show the account in use; unconnected ones show Not connected. Use My connections to filter down to just the apps you have set up.*

## Viewing All Connections

Open **Connections** from the left sidebar. The page shows one card per app. A card gives you the app's name, its category, and either the connected account's email address or **Not connected**.

Three controls narrow the page down. **My connections** filters to the apps you have already set up, the search box finds one by name, and the view toggle switches between grid and list.

## Connection Status

A card reads one of two ways: the connected account, shown in green, or **Not connected**.

The card names the account; whether its access still works is checked where it matters, at the step that uses it. A step whose account has lapsed names it and offers a **Reconnect** button in the App drawer.

## Disconnecting a Connection

Only the person who created a connection can disconnect it. Other workspace members can use an available connection in a workflow, but they do not see its lifecycle actions.

1. Find the app's card on the **Connections** page.
2. Click **Disconnect**.
3. Confirm.

> **Tip:** Before disconnecting, check which workflows use this account.
> Disconnecting causes any step that references it to fail on its next run.

## Reconnecting

Glow does not flag a dead connection on the Connections page. You find it in the workflow instead. Open the step that uses the account, and the App drawer names the broken connection, "<account> is no longer authorized", with a **Reconnect** button beside it.

Clicking it re-runs the sign-in and re-points the step at the refreshed connection.

## Multi-Account Support

Glow allows you to connect multiple accounts for the same app. This is useful when:

- You manage workflows for different clients, each with their own Google Workspace.
- Your team uses separate Slack workspaces for internal and external communication.
- You need to read from one Salesforce org and write to another.

### Adding a Second Account

The quickest route is from inside a step. Open the **Account** dropdown in the App drawer and choose **Connect new account…**, which is offered whether or not you already have one. Sign in with the second account, and the step points at it straight away.

### Selecting Between Accounts in a Workflow

Configure a step for an app with multiple connections and the **Account** dropdown lists every one of them. Select the one appropriate for that particular step.

For example, say you have two Google Sheets connections, one for `operations@company.com` and one for `marketing@company.com`. One step can read from an operations spreadsheet while another writes to a marketing spreadsheet, all within the same workflow.

## Where Connections Appear in the App drawer

When you add or edit an app step, its App drawer includes:

1. **Account**: a dropdown listing all connections for the selected app. This is where you choose which account to use.
2. **Action**: the specific operation to perform (for example, "Add Single Row" in Google Sheets).
3. **Configuration fields**: the inputs required by the selected action, which may reference data from previous steps.

The **Account** dropdown always offers **Connect new account…** at the bottom, so you can sign in to a new account without leaving the workflow editor.

## Best Practices

- **Know which account is which before you connect it.** A connection is labelled with what the provider returns, usually the account's email address. Signing in with an address that makes its purpose obvious (`billing@`, `alerts@`) is what tells two connections apart later. Where a provider returns no address at all, the card reads "Connected". That is another reason to connect accounts one at a time, in an order you will recognise.
- **Review connections periodically.** Remove connections that are no longer in use to keep your Connections page clean and keep the list to what you actually use.
- **Coordinate with your team.** A connection can be selected in workflows across the workspace, but only its owner can reconnect or disconnect it. Disconnecting affects every workflow that references it.

## What's Next?

- Add a service you have not authenticated yet in [Connecting an App](/manage/apps-and-integrations/connecting-an-app).
- See how workspace roles, workflow visibility and delegated access fit together in [Permissions and Access](/manage/workspace-settings/permissions-and-access).
