# Manage connections

> Organize connections into folders, favorite them, and edit, duplicate, or remove them from the Home screen.

The **Home** screen is your connection manager. It lists your connections with their status and gives you quick actions on each one.

## Organize

* **Folders and groups** - group related connections (for example by project or environment) so a long list stays tidy.
* **Favorites** - star the connections you open most.
* **Search** - filter connections by name.
* **Status** - each connection shows whether it is reachable at a glance.

## The connection card

Select a connection to see its detail card with one-click actions:

* **Open Database** - jump into the workspace.
* **Backup** and **Restore** - snapshot or restore the database (see [Backup and restore](/backup-and-restore)).
* **Edit** - change the connection settings.
* **Copy** - duplicate the connection as a starting point for a similar one.

## Edit, duplicate, delete

Right-click a connection in the sidebar for the full context menu (edit, duplicate, delete). FlexTable auto-reconnects when a connection drops.
