# Connect

Connect is our companion app that gives you live insight and push notifications about the state and progress of your transfers, transcodes, and archiving.&#x20;

Connect is available for all licenses that are eligible for updates and support. Pro licenses automatically send their data to Connect, while non-Pro licensees must manually hook up their computers to Connect in-app.

## Dashboard

Connect offers an online dashboard, available at <https://connect.hedge.video>. Log in with either the email connected to your license key(s), or your license key itself.

## Setting Up

Connect is available in OffShoot, EditReady, and Canister. We have setup guides available for each app:

* [Connect for EditReady](/editready/connect.md)
* [Connect for Canister](/canister/features/connect.md)
* [Connect for OffShoot](/offshoot/features/connect.md)

## Requirements

Connect has seen several iterations in the last 10 years, and is currently on its third. That means not every application that shows a Connect panel is still functional. These are the minimum versions required for the current Connect:

* Canister 23.2
* EditReady 24.4
* OffShoot 23.2

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.hedge.video/connect.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
