# Connections

Connections in AugeLab Studio represent the connections between function blocks:

{% hint style="warning" %}
Be cautious of creating recursive connections, as they can lead to potential data loss and workflow disruptions.
{% endhint %}

You should always aim to connect sockets that show similar or same types.

Connections in AugeLab Studio can be manipulation with several shortcuts:

Hover on a socket that is connected, press and hold `Ctrl`, click and hold with `Left Mouse` and move the existing connections to a socket you need, then release.

You can remove connections by removing them with keyboard shortcuts or clicking `Ctrl+Left Mouse Click` and dragging it.
