Highlight the connection in the connection list to view information
about the connection.
To disconnect a signal connection, highlight the connection in the
connection list and click Disconnect.
To save a group of connections, select Edit»Save Settings. Enter the name
of the file you want to save, such as

your current settings for the next session.
