Your Confluence instance is now connected to Salesforce. You can continue with [Configuring mappings](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SFPUBC/pages/478118718) and [Configuring permissions](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SFPUBC/pages/478118435).

## Disconnecting from Salesforce

1. In your Confluence site, click on the gear icon ⚙️  (Settings) <span style="color: #202124">**.  **</span>
2. In the left sidebar, scroll down to the **Salesforce Publisher** section, and click on **Connection**.
3. In the connection panel, click on the *'...' *button, then choose **Delete**.  
Note that this will remove the authentication key from the publisher and hide all existing links between Confluence and Salesforce. Should you decide to connect to the same Salesforce instance again, the existing links associated with the instance will appear again.
