Manage connections for shortcuts

Shortcuts in OneLake use shared cloud connections to access the cloud resources where your data is stored. These connections can be managed on a per-shortcut basis, but you can also view and update connections in bulk to keep all of your shortcuts working efficiently.

View shortcut connections

You can view and manage all existing cloud connections for shortcuts in a single lakehouse.

1. In the Microsoft Fabric portal, navigate to your lakehouse.

2. Select Settings.

   

3. Select Shortcut connections.

   

4. On the Manage OneLake shortcut connections page, you can view all connections. The Action required section highlights any broken connections that need attention. You can also see how many shortcuts share each connection.

Replace shortcut connections

There are many reasons that you might have to replace a cloud connection. Maybe the connection is broken, maybe the user that created that connection left your organization and you can't access the connection anymore, or maybe you want to switch to a different connection that uses a different authentication method.

1. On the Manage OneLake shortcut connections page, select Replace for the connection that you want to update.

   

2. Select either Existing connection or Create new connection.

3. Provide the new connection information.

   • For an existing connection, use the drop-down menu to select the connection, then select Save.
   • For a new connection, provide the connection settings and credentials, then select Save.

Once the new cloud connection is established, all of the shortcuts that used the old connection are updated to use the new connection.
