Connections include everyone that you have invited, whether they have accepted, declined, or have not yet responded, as well as all the invitations you have received. Recent connections are automatically displayed on the Connections sub-tab.

From the connection detail page, you can:
- Accept an Invitation
- If a business partner has sent you an invitation to connect using Salesforce to Salesforce, click Accept to accept the invitation. After you accept the invitation, you can subscribe to objects that the connection has published and begin sharing objects with the connection using the Published Objects and Subscribed Objects related lists on a connection detail page.
- Cancel an Invitation
- If an invitation you sent hasn’t been accepted, you can cancel the invitation by clicking Cancel Invitation. If your partner hasn’t received the invitation, click Resend to send it again.
- Deactivate Connections
- If you have created a connection with a business partner and you no longer wish to use the connection, click Deactivate. If a connection is deactivated, you can still view and update records that your connection shared with you, but updates you make won’t be sent to your connection. If you sent records to your connection that they didn’t accept, the records are removed from their organization, and vice versa.
- Edit Connections
- When displaying the connection, you can modify the connection by editing the connection details. To change the objects published to a connection, click Publish/Unpublish, or to use a connection template, click Edit and select an active template. To edit the published fields on an object, click Edit next to the object. To change the objects you’re subscribed to, click Subscribe/Unsubscribe.
- View Connection History
- You can view a detailed history of the connection in the Connection History related
list of the connection detail page. To export the
connection history, select Download connection history
(csv). This lets you download a comma-separated values file that
includes the following information:
- Connection status changes
- Changes to which account is associated with the connection
- Changes to which contact is associated with the connection
- Connection owner changes
- Changes to published fields
- Email communications sent to your business partners
- Errors related to validation rules and Apex triggers with validation rules
resulting from:
- Records manually accepted
- Records automatically accepted
- Records updated by Connection User
Note System errors, for example, code errors, aren’t logged in the Connection History.
