I have created a shared database connection for one project, but when I switch the project, I am not able to see the same db connection in another project, how can we access the same connection in another project as well?

In AutomationEdge Process Studio, a **“Shared Database Connection” is scoped at the Project level** rather than globally across the entire workspace. When you create or share a database connection in a project, it is stored in that project’s `Connections` folder so that all workflows and processes _within that specific project_ can reuse it. However, it remains isolated from other projects.

Here is how you can access or reuse the same database connection-

1. Open the workflow, navigate to the **View** tab in the left pane, and expand **Database connections**.
2. Right-click the local connection and select **Share**
