# Connections

The **Connections** tab lets you set up integrations with various external resources, expanding Leapwork's capabilities for automation, user management, and cloud-based testing.

* These connections allow Leapwork to support powerful extensions, such as mobile automation (locally or in the cloud), integration with enterprise systems, and centralized user authentication.

* Multiple connections can be created and saved, which can then be applied to each Leapwork instance.

Leapwork supports various ways to set up a connection:

* [Appium Server](https://docs.leapwork.com/leapwork-flow/latest/administration/connections/appium-server-connection.md): To support automation of native mobile devices (iOS and Android) hosted locally.

* [HeadSpin Server](https://docs.leapwork.com/leapwork-flow/latest/administration/connections/headspin-server-connection.md): To support building and running automation using HeadSpin's cloud device farm.

* [SauceLabs Server](https://docs.leapwork.com/leapwork-flow/latest/administration/connections/saucelabs-server-connection.md): To enable automation of iOS and Android devices in SauceLabs' cloud environment.

* [BrowserStack Server](https://docs.leapwork.com/leapwork-flow/latest/administration/connections/browserstack-server-connection.md): For automating testing on real devices, emulators, and simulators hosted in BrowserStack's cloud environment.

* [LambdaTest Server](https://docs.leapwork.com/leapwork-flow/latest/administration/connections/lambdatest-server-connection.md): To enable automation of native mobile applications on real iOS and Android devices hosted in LambdaTest's cloud environment.

* [Microsoft Graph (SharePoint)](https://docs.leapwork.com/leapwork-flow/latest/administration/connections/wip-microsoft-graph-sharepoint-connection.md): To connect with SharePoint for accessing hosted Excel files and documentation blocks.

* [Single Sign-On (SSO)](https://docs.leapwork.com/leapwork-flow/latest/administration/connections/single-sign-on-sso-connection.md): To streamline user authentication across integrated systems.

* [Azure DevOps (ADO)](https://docs.leapwork.com/leapwork-flow/latest/administration/connections/azure-devops-ado-server-connections.md): To integrate with ADO test plans, enabling the automation of test cases and synchronization of results.
