# Connecting Systems (From Workflows)

Using Workflows, Users can connect to external Systems through existing or new credentials. Below is a guide on how the connection logic works:

### Connecting to an Existing System

* If credentials already exist for a system, Users can connect only to the specific version associated with those credentials.
* Users will not be able to choose a different version from the workflow.

### Creating a New Credential from the Workflow Page

Depending on whether credentials already exist, Users will have different options:

* If credentials exist for the system (means if the system is already connected):
  * Users can create a new credential, but only for the same version those credentials are tied to.
* If credentials do not exist:
  * Users can create a new credential, but only for the recommended version of that system.
  * Version selection is not available within the workflow.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Version selection is available only on the Systems page and only during the first connection.
{% endhint %}

### Supported System Types

* Users can connect to both public and private systems directly from within a workflow.

{% hint style="warning" %}
FTP, SFTP, and S3 are not yet supported for new systems.
{% endhint %}
