# Manage connections

> Add, reconnect, disconnect and control who can manage connectors.

All your connections live in **Settings → Connectors**. Here's how to manage them.

## Add a connection

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Settings → Connectors" />

  <Step title="Find your tool by category and select Connect" />

  <Step title="Authorise read-only access and choose what to share" />
</Steps>

Each tool's page has exact steps - browse the [connector library](/connectors/introduction).

## Reconnect or sync

* **Reconnect** - when a connector shows *Reconnect required*, open it and select **Reconnect**. History is preserved.
* **Sync now** - force a fresh read with **Sync now** on the connector.

## Disconnect a tool

Open the connector and select **Disconnect**. Vivacity stops reading immediately. You can reconnect later; reconnecting re-reads your history to rebuild the picture.

<Note>
  Disconnecting a tool removes it from future briefings and answers. It does **not** change anything inside the tool itself.
</Note>

## Who can manage connections

Connectors are a **workspace-level** setting:

* **Owners & admins** can add, remove, and decide who's allowed to create connections.
* **Members** use the connections they've been granted access to.
* Sensitive connections (e.g. email, payments) can be restricted to admins.

Manage roles in **Settings → Team**. See [Account & billing](/account/account-and-billing) for workspace and team settings.

## Connection access

When you create a connection you can choose who can use it - just you, specific teammates, or the whole workspace. This keeps sensitive sources (like an inbox or payment account) limited to the right people.
