-Managing connections in TypeDB server. 
+== Overview
+
+To interact with a TypeDB database, a client application must first establish a connection to the server. This is typically done using a
+xref:{page-version}@new_core_concepts::drivers/index.adoc[TypeDB driver] for your chosen programming language (e.g., Python, Java, Rust, Node.js) or through a tool like the TypeDB Console or TypeDB Studio.
+
+A connection requires the server's address (host and port) and valid user credentials. For production environments, a secure connection using
+TLS is strongly recommended.

+== Connecting to TypeDB Cloud & Enterprise

+For a cloud deployment:
+
+// include::../tools/studio.adoc[tag=connect_cloud_studio]
+. In the https://cloud.typedb.com[TypeDB Cloud website], navigate to your cluster and click *Connect*. Then, click *Connect with TypeDB Studio*. This will launch TypeDB Studio.
+. Fill in your password and hit *Connect*. Your password can be found in your downloaded credentials file (if you have one).
+
+For an enterprise deployment:
+
+// include::../tools/studio.adoc[tag=connect_enterprise_studio]
+. Launch TypeDB Studio.
+. Enter the address of the HTTP endpoint of your cluster. By default, this is at port 8000.
+. Enter your username and password.
+. Click `Connect`.
