## Creating and Managing X-Pages Studio Connections in Vault CRM

Vault CRM admins can use X-Pages Studio Administration to establish connections between Vault CRM and an X-Pages Studio domain, and to manage and monitor deployment activity.

Connecting a Vault to X-Pages Studio requires a Studio admin to generate and share a Studio Connection File in X-Pages Studio. The Studio admin shares this file with a Vault CRM admin to establish the connection and move it to the Connected status.

After an Studio admin initiates a connection and shares the Studio Connection File, Vault CRM admins complete the connection process within Vault CRM.

To connect a Vault to X-Pages Studio after receiving the Studio Connection File:

1. Navigate to **Admin > Configuration > Application Configurations > General > X-Pages Studio Administration**.
2. Select **Upload Connection File** in the Connected Studios section.
3. Select the Studio Connection File shared by the Studio admin.

If the connection is successful, a confirmation message displays and the connection moves to the Connected state.

If an error occurs, one of the following error messages displays:

* Invalid Connection Type - The uploaded file is not valid. Ensure the file originated from X-Pages Studio.
* Expired Connection File - The Studio Connection File has already been used. The Studio admin must generate a new connection file, see Creating and Managing X-Pages Studio Connections for more information.
