The **Connect** section is listed while any connection type is on under [Solutions](https://conclude.io/doc/admin/solutions/). Its pages:

- [**Admin console > Connect > Sync settings**](https://conclude.io/admin/sync-settings) has a tab for each connection type: **Internal connections**, **External connections** and **Bridge**. Each tab sets how much thread history a new connection syncs, and the policy for files and images under **Manage attachments**. See [Message syncing](https://conclude.io/doc/connect/message-syncing/#existing-threads) and [File and image sharing](https://conclude.io/doc/connect/file-sharing/)
- [**Admin console > Connect > Message display**](https://conclude.io/admin/message-display) sets how the sender appears in synced messages, and whether email addresses show next to names when people set up chats. See [Message headers](https://conclude.io/doc/connect/message-syncing/#message-headers) and [Cross-platform chats](https://conclude.io/doc/guides/chats/)

Connections themselves are made in the Dashboard, not in the console. The [Connect chapter](https://conclude.io/doc/connect/) covers them.
