Manage connections to web services
In Adobe® Creative Suite® 4, the Connections panel lets you manage connections to web services and the locally
installed extensions that interact with them. The Connections panel itself is an extension. Additional extensions
installed with Creative Suite applications include the following:

Collaborate with dispersed working teams over the web, sharing voice, data, and multimedia.
Kuler™ panel
Quickly create, share, and explore color themes online.
Search for Help
In the upper-right corner of applications, enter search terms to access Community Help. Community
Help includes Adobe product Help, plus additional content from the design and production communities.
