## Connections <a href="#connections" id="connections"></a>

A connection in the context of workflow management serves as a critical link between different nodes within the system, enabling the seamless transfer of data.&#x20;

It plays a pivotal role in guiding the flow of information from the output of one node to the input of another, ensuring the smooth progression of tasks and processes within the workflow.
