# Connections Widget Overview

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Overview">
    The Connections Widget lets end users manage their connected institutions and accounts.

    This widget can be accessed when the user selects **Manage Connections** from the Money Dashboard.

    <Warning>
      **WARNING**

      This widget is **not the same** as the Connect Widget. While the Connect Widget lets users connect their accounts, the Connections Widget helps users manage those connections and connect to their accounts.
    </Warning>

* View connected institutions and accounts within those institutions
* Connect accounts and resolve connection issues
* Disconnect an institution
* Hide an account from use in other widgets
* Merge accounts that show up twice
* Mark an account as closed

## Filter Connections

If you're using the `use_cases` parameter, you can set the widget to only show connections (members) with the `use_cases` you set when requesting the widget URL.

To do this, set the:

* `connections_use_case_filter` parameter to `true`.
* `use_cases` parameter to `PFM` and/or `MONEY_MOVEMENT`, depending on what connections you want to show in the widget.

<Info>
  **INFO**

  For more info on the `use_cases` parameter, see one of the following guides depending on the API you're using:

  * [Member Use Cases for Platform API](/api-reference/platform-api/overview/formats-requirements#member-use-cases)
  * [Member Use Cases for Nexus API](/api-reference/nexus/reference/01-members-overview)
</Info>

### Example 1

In this example using the Platform API, the Connections Widget will only show connections (members) that have `PFM` set as a use case.

A connection (`member`) could have its `use_cases` parameter set to `["PFM", "MONEY_MOVEMENT"]` and still display in the widget, since the `member` contains one of the use cases defined in the request.

```json theme={null}
{
  "widget_url": {
    "widget_type": "connections_widget",
    "ui_message_version": 4,
    "use_cases": ["PFM"],
    "connections_use_case_filter": true
  }
}
```

### Example 2

In this example using the Platform API, the Connections Widget will only show connections (members) that have `PFM` or `MONEY_MOVEMENT` set as a use case.

A connection (`member`) could have its `use_cases` parameter set to only `["MONEY_MOVEMENT"]` and still display in the widget, since the `member` contains one of the use cases defined in the request.

```json theme={null}
{
  "widget_url": {
    "widget_type": "connections_widget",
    "ui_message_version": 4,
    "use_cases": ["PFM", "MONEY_MOVEMENT"],
    "connections_use_case_filter": true
  }
}
```
