## Connections

The **Connections** tab lets you set up integrations with various external resources, expanding Leapwork's capabilities for automation, user management, and cloud-based testing.

- These connections allow Leapwork to support powerful extensions, such as mobile automation (locally or in the cloud), integration with enterprise systems, and centralized user authentication.
- Multiple connections can be created and saved, which can then be applied to each Leapwork instance.

Leapwork supports various ways to set up a connection:
