Summary: ◀▼

You can manage connections to external services by storing and updating API credentials securely. Admins can view, edit, or delete connections and OAuth clients, though some details like connection names and authentication types cannot be changed after creation. This helps maintain secure integrations with services like Slack or Shopify while controlling access through OAuth client management.
