The Connection menu, in the main menu bar at the top of every page, groups the features used to reach shared documents, communicate with other members and open useful web links.
Items are grouped in columns by function. Most items are available to every logged-in member. Some require specific access rights, and others appear only when the feature is enabled for your organization. If you don’t see an item described below, you don’t have access to it or it is not used by your organization.
Menu items
In the table, Access rights required means that only members with the proper credentials see the item. Optional feature means that the item appears only if your organization uses this feature.

Pages added by your organization
Besides the standard items, your organization can add its own pages or links to the Library, Communicate and Collegial services groups, for example policies and rules, licensing information or a link to an external service. Their names and content are chosen by your organization, so they vary from one organization to another. Some of these pages are visible only to specific roles.
Connection links in the page footer
The same Connection items are also available at the bottom of every page, in the footer, under Library, Communicate and Collegial services.
