1. Click **Toggle Add Panel** (or use the shortcut ⌘ ⇧ A). The **Add panel** opens.
2. Click the **open book icon** next to the search bar. The **Swimlane Content** window opens.
3. This window includes three switchable tabs:

- Connectors
- Components
- AI Agents

4. Use the **Search bar** to find specific connectors, components, or actions.
   - Use **Sort By** to organise results (for example, by vendor or source);
   - Use filters such as: 
     - **Install Status** (Installed, Not Installed, Upgrade Available)
     - **Categories** (AI & ML, Security, Communication, etc.)
5. Hover over the listed connectors, components, and AI Agents to see the following options:
   - **Connect**: Click this to install the connector.
   - **Install**: Click this to install the component and AI Agent.

   - Drag and drop them into the Canvas to use in your flow.
