# Add a Connection to a Workspace

The Professional and Ultimate Editions of MotiveWave® allow you to maintain connections to multiple brokers and/or data services within the same workspace. Start by editing the workspace. You can do this by clicking on **Configure > Workspaces** from the top menu bar of the Console window :

Alternatively, you can edit a workspace from the **Options >** **Manage Workspaces** dialog on MotiveWave's startup screen:

The **Manage Workspaces** dialog will appear (see below). From this dialog, double click on the workspace you would like to add connection(s) or select the workspace then click on the **Modify** button.
