# Plugin and channel settings

Plugins give Fennec authenticated app tools; Channels receive messages and route them through a compatible crew. They share accounts and policy concepts but remain separate settings pages.

## Review connected services

1. Open `Settings` → `Plugins` to install, inspect tools, connect another account, or disconnect an account.
2. Confirm the required plugin account is connected before assigning its access to an agent or channel.
3. Open `Settings` → `Channels` to add or edit a messaging, email, event, or voice installation.
4. Review `Fennec mode`, `Advanced channel controls`, and the live status.
5. Test a real plugin action or inbound channel event before removing a dependency.

## Expected result

Authorized tools remain available to the intended agents, and connected messages reach the selected crew under the saved channel policy.
