# Connections and datasets

> How data from outside Ulysses comes into your workspace.

A **connection** links Ulysses to an external source, such as a project spreadsheet. Ulysses verifies access and runs sync jobs to keep the data current.

Synced data lands in **datasets**, where you manage how it maps to projects, programs, and awards.

## Where to find it

Open **Connections** to add a connection, verify data access, and manage sync jobs. Open **Datasets** to manage where your external data lives.
