**Important**

The process for connecting Publisher to your PMPC Cloud Company is detailed in the [Add a Publisher Connection](/patch-my-pc-cloud/manage/settings/connections/add-connection.md#add-a-publisher-connection) section of [Add a Connection in Patch My PC Cloud](/patch-my-pc-cloud/manage/settings/connections/add-connection.md)

Once Publisher has been successfully connected to your PMPC Cloud Company, its connection will be shown under **Settings | Connections** in the PMPC Cloud Portal, with the connection **Type** shown as **Publisher**.

After disconnecting, Cloud-based features such as Custom Apps and Application Migration are no longer available until Publisher is reconnected.

## Test Connection button

Clicking the **Test Connection** button verifies connectivity and authentication between Publisher and the connected PMPC Cloud Company without changing the current connection state.

The results of the test are shown in the **Cloud Connection Test** dialog box.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.patchmypc.com/patch-my-pc-publisher/manage/cloud-tab/connect-publisher-cloud.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
