+# Setup and Configuration (VSCode Connection Manager)
+Using `VSCode Settings` as your connection manager allows you to define and manage your connections directly from within VSCode via regular VSCode settings. It is recommended to use workspace settings over user settings here as it might get confusing otherwise. The default connection can be configured directly via the settings UI using the `databricks.connection.default.*` settings. To configure multiple Databricks Connections/workspaces, you need to use the JSON editor and add them to `databricks.connections`:

 The extension supports various connection managers and the list can be easily extended. At the moment these connecton managers exist:
 - [VSCode Settings](#setup-and-configuration-vscode-connection-manager)
 - [Databricks CLI](#setup-and-configuration-databricks-cli-connection-manager)
 - [Azure](#setup-and-configuration-azure-connection-manager)
+- [Databricks Extensions](#setup-and-configuration-databricks-extensions-connection-manager)
 - `Manual` where you are simply prompted to enter connection information at the start of your session.
 
 You can specify the one to use by setting the VSCode setting `databricks.connectionManager`.

+If you are using the [Databricks Extension Connection Manager](#setup-and-configuration-databricks-extension-connection-manager) we will also create a generic notebook kernel for you which used the configured cluster.
 
 ## Execution Modes
-We distinguish between Live-execution and Offline-execution. In Live-execution mode, files are opened directly from Databricks by mounting the Databricks Workspace into your VSCode Workspace using `dbws:/` URI scheme. In this mode there is no intermediate local copy but you work directly against the Databricks Workspace. Everything you run must already exist online in the Databricks Workspace.

 This is slightly different in Offline-execution where all files you want to work with need to be synced locally first using the [Workspace Manager](#workspace-manager). This is especially important when it comes `%run` which behaves slightly differntly compared to Live-execution mode. `%run` in Offline-execution runs the code from your local file instead of the code that exists in Dtabricks online!
 Other commands like `dbutils.notebook.run()` always use the code thats currently online so if you have changed the refernced notebook locally, you have to upload it first. This is simply because we cannot easily replicate the behavior of `dbutils.notebook.run()` locally!
