**1)**
The top table shows you information about your current connect version. In
the update column you can update connect directly inside the connect window.
Connect informs you automatically when there is an update available.

**2)**
The bottom table shows you all installed cragl tools. If you don't want to load
a cragl tool for the time being you can decide to exclude it from loading when
you launch NUKE. Just un-check the **load** option of a specific tool. When you
close connect you'll be asked to restart NUKE so that the changes apply. The
next time you launch NUKE the tool won't be loaded anymore. To restore it just
hit the according "load" checkbox again.

To uninstall a cragl tool click the according "uninstall" button in the
uninstall column.

The third tab **settings** shows you some additional settings to adjust connect
to your needs.

**2)** Here you can set a proxy in case your machine is using one.

**3)** Here you can set the port if your machine uses a proxy.

**4)** Click this button to test the proxy configuration.

**5)** This is the mac address of your machine. Node locked licenses are locked
to this mac address.

**6)** Enabling this checkbox will cache tool images and will speed up the
loading time of connect. We recommend keeping this checkbox enabled for better
performance.

**7)** Click to flush the image cache.

**8)** Enabling this checkbox will show you a notification when an updated for
one of our tools is available. We recommend keeping this checkbox checked so
that you are informed about our tool updates and will always have access to
the latest and greatest.

**9)** Keeping this checkbox checked ensures connect is connected to our
server so that it can retrieve important tool information. In case your machine
is offline and there is no need to connect to our server you can turn this off.
In some cases this might also speed up launching connect and other tools.

**10)** Click to show the connect log. Each tool logs information into the
connect log.
