# Integrations overview

> Connect upstream systems and manage integration health in the K16 Platform.

Integrations connect your K16 workspace to learning management systems, student information systems, and customer relationship management systems. Open **Settings** > **Integrations** to inspect them. **View** permission allows inspection; **Manage** permission is required to create, change, duplicate, pause, or delete integrations.

## Use the integrations dashboard

The dashboard summarizes **Active**, **Paused**, **Offline**, and **Error** integrations. It sorts higher-severity states first so you can address failures quickly.

* Use **Search integrations…** to find a friendly name.
* Filter by provider type or status.
* Select a row to open **Overview**, **Checks**, and **Config** details.
* Open the row action menu to view details, edit the name, pause or unpause, copy diagnostics, or delete.

<Note>
  The operational status and credential-validation status answer different questions. An integration
  can be active while saved credential validation is stale. Review both in the detail panel.
</Note>

## Plan an integration

Before you select **New integration**, identify:

* the provider and whether K16 will pull from it or push to it;
* the provider account approved for automated access;
* the account or organizational scope K16 should access;
* the provider settings and protected values required by the form;
* an owner who can correct provider-side permissions.

Never place protected values in a ticket, screenshot, or documentation page. Enter them only in the K16 integration form or another approved secret-handling workflow.
