Quick start

1. Open VS Code.
2. Click the Data Connector icon in the Activity Bar.
3. In the Connectors panel:
   • Click Refresh if needed.
   • Use Search connectors to find one quickly.
   • Use Clear connector search to show all again.
4. Expand a connector to work with it.

Typical workflow

1. Pick a connector from the list.
2. If there are no test accounts yet, click Add a test account.
3. Start a local run from the connector row.
4. Open returned items and inspect details.
5. Use Running Connectors to monitor active runs.

Useful actions

• Refresh: reloads the Connectors panel.
• Search connectors: filters by connector name or ID.

Notes
