# Connectors UI in Kibana [es-connectors-usage]
# Connectors UI [es-connectors-usage]
This document describes operations available to connectors using the UI.
In the Kibana UI, navigate to **Search > Content > Connectors** from the main menu, or use the [global search field](docs-content://explore-analyze/query-filter/filtering.md#_finding_your_apps_and_objects). Here, you can view a summary of all your connectors and sync jobs, and to create new connectors.

::::{tip}
In 8.12 we introduced a set of [Connector APIs](https://www.elastic.co/docs/api/doc/elasticsearch/group/endpoint-connector) to create and manage Elastic connectors and sync jobs, along with a [CLI tool](https://github.com/elastic/connectors/blob/main/docs/CLI.md). Use these tools if youd like to work with connectors and sync jobs programmatically, without using the UI.

The following section provides a high-level overview of common architecture approaches for the internal knowledge search use case (AKA workplace search).
## Hybrid architecture [es-connectors-overview-architecture-hybrid]
$$$es-connectors-overview-architecture-hybrid$$$
Data is synced to an Elastic Cloud deployment through managed connectors and/or self-managed connectors. A self-managed search application exposes the relevant data that your end users are authorized to see in a search experience.
Summary:
* The best combination in terms of flexibility and out-of-the box functionality
* Integrates with Elastic Cloud hosted managed connectors to bring data to Elasticsearch with minimal operational overhead
* Self-managed connectors allow enterprises to adhere to strict access policies when using firewalls that dont allow incoming connections to data sources, while outgoing traffic is easier to control
* Provides additional functionality available for self-managed connectors such as the [Extraction Service](/reference/ingestion-tools/search-connectors/es-connectors-content-extraction.md#es-connectors-content-extraction-local)
* Basic functionality available for Standard licenses, advanced features for Platinum licenses
The following diagram provides a high-level overview of the hybrid internal knowledge search architecture.

::::
In order to set up, configure, and run a connector youll be moving between your third-party service, the Elastic UI, and your terminal. At a high-level, the workflow looks like this:
1. Satisfy any data source prerequisites (e.g., create an OAuth application).
2. Create a connector in the UI (or via the API).
3. Deploy the connector service:
- [Option 1: Run with Docker](es-connectors-run-from-docker.md) (recommended)
- [Option 2: Run from source](es-connectors-run-from-source.md)
4. Enter data source configuration details in the UI.
