* Users can check job status and process logs from the integration details page by clicking on the integration name in the active list.&#x20;
* Users can Re-Authenticate, Edit, Clone, Pause, or Delete the integration at any moment by clicking on settings. You can also adjust the frequency and history of the integration.&#x20;
* On the Sources page, click Integration to access each table in your integration. The page also shows the state of each table, the last replicated time, and Reload access buttons.&#x20;
