 === Debezium Platform
 
-=== New Smart Editor
+==== New Smart Editor
 
 Managing similar Debezium connectors across different runtimes presents its own unique sets of maintenance challenges since each runtime uses different formats, i.e. Kafka Connect with JSON versus Debezium Server with key/value properties files.
 The Debezium Platform also uses its own JSON-based format that differs slightly from Kafka Connect, which adds another layer of complexity.
 
 To streamline the user experience with Debezium Platform, a new _Smart Editor_ feature is available, which allows you to write or paste configurations from Kafka Connect or Debezium Server, and convert those to the Platform's format, automatically (https://issues.redhat.com/browse/DBZ-8873[DBZ-8873] https://issues.redhat.com/browse/DBZ-8888[DBZ-8888]).
 
+==== New Connection Management
+
+You can now manage connection credentials and details separately from sources and destination configurations (https://issues.redhat.com/browse/DBZ-9314).
+This simplifies the management of connections where you may have multiple pipelines that connect to the same source or destination system.
+
+In this screenshot, you can see how you can manage and add new connections.

+When creating new sources or destinations, you can pick whether you want to create a new connection or reuse an existing one for simplicity.

+=== Notify users of pipeline restart on changes
+
+When working with the Debezium Platform, a source, destination, or other resources may be shared across two or more pipelines.
+When making changes to these resources, any pipeline that makes use of that resource must be restarted for those changes to take effect.
+
+In an effort to avoid unexpected outcomes due to pipeline restarts, Debezium Platform will notify users when making changes that could lead to a pipeline being restarted so that the updated configuration can be applied (https://issues.redhat.com/browse/DBZ-9104[DBZ-9104]).

 After the conversion, the `@Capturing` annotated method is called with the `Product` object instead of the emitted `ChangeEvent`.
