# Connections Connections link your Squirrel365 project to an external data source. You can pull data in from spreadsheets, databases, and cloud paltforms, write data back when users interact with your app, or trigger actions in other tools. Each connection runs in the background and keeps your app's spreadsheet in sync with your data. ### Adding a connection To access the Connections library, select the
