Once linkeda, you can access various applications conveniently. You can link your file without opening the Spark web interface. Just choose the folder where your service is located, find your service, and connect. After linking your file, a small tag is created within it, which Coherent Assistant recognizes. This tag functions only when logged into the appropriate environment. If you log into a different environment or if there's unauthorized access to your file, the link remains invisible and inaccessible to unauthorized users. ### How to link a file 1. Locate **Services** application. 2. Once you open the application, the first screen you see will tell you whether your file is connected or not.

When the file has no link in the current environment, above screen is shown.

3. You can link your file to an existing service by clicking on **Select a service**. Or create a brand new service by clicking on Create a new service. 4. Select the service and version you want to link your file to.

1) Locate your service. 2) Click on Next to confirm your selection. 3) Select the version you want to link your file. 4) And finally click on Select to finalize your link.

5. Once you have successfully linked your file, you will see the details of the linked service.
Once a file is linked to a service, you can create new versions of that service by uploading the file. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
