The “Connection” section is located between the “Connector” section and the “Workflows” section of the “Seeds” page. Here, you must select a previously created SharePoint Online Connection for the Seed, from the Connection combo box.
The “Workflows” section is located between the “Connection” section and the “Tag” section of the “Seeds” page. Here, you can select previously created Workflows that apply to the seed. If no workflow is specified, a default workflow is assigned.
The “Tag” section is located between the “Workflows” section and the “Policies” section of the “Seeds” page. Here you can, if desired, specify a tag for seeds filtering.
The “Policies” section is the last section, located right below the “Tag” section of the “Seeds” page:
