1. Once you log into [the Connect site](https://connect3.hedge.video), click the grey bell icon (i.e. the notification button).
2. Click `Allow` in the notifications popup on your device.
3. When the grey bell turns blue, Connect will send you notifications for completed transfers.

### Enable Push Notifications from the Connect site on mobile devices

  1. Go to the [Connect site](https://connect3.hedge.video)
  2. Save Connect as a web app by tapping the share button in the iOS toolbar, scrolling to the bottom of the menu, and tapping `Add to Home Screen`.
  3. Open the web app and click the notification bell icon.
  4. Enable Notifications for this website when prompted.

{% hint style="warning" %}

{% endhint %}

## Change connection name

By default, Connect will display the Computer Name.

The connection name can be changed in `Canister` > `Settings` > `Connect` > `Computer Name`.

## Revoke access

Use the `Revoke Access` button in the settings panel to cancel all connections to the Connect site. A new `Connect Code` will be generated automatically.

On the Connect site, you can delete a connection to a device by hovering over the device listed under `Connections`, then clicking `X` next to it.

## Connect Pro

{% hint style="info" %}
This feature requires a Canister Pro license. Upgrade via the [License Manager](https://account.hedge.video/), or via Canister > Settings > License.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

Connect Pro allows your team to log in to the Connect site using the registered Canister email address. This allows multiple team members to follow the progress of each active LTO transfer, on each computer that's using your Canister license.
