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

To deploy pages, Studio admins can connect an X-Pages Studio domain to any number of Vault CRM vaults. Each connection is stored as a Vault CRM Connection. Studio admins can create multiple connections using the same user when multiple teams share an environment, for example, Medical and Sales. Available connection types include Sandbox or Production.

Connections can be in one of the following states:

* Pending - Connection created in X-Pages Studio but not yet finalized in Vault CRM
* Connected - Connection between X-Pages Studio and Vault CRM is active
* Revoked - Connection between X-Pages Studio and Vault CRM is no longer active

Domain connections created after the 26R1.4 Production Release (July 16, 2026) use an updated method to authenticate with Vault CRM that no longer requires a licensed integration user. Domain connections established before the 26R1.4 Production Release are considered legacy connections and will continue to function - no action is needed from users. Integration user credentials for legacy connections can not be edited.
