The process of connecting Mattermost workspaces involves the following 5 steps:

1. Each system admin of a Mattermost instance who wants to connect to another Mattermost workspaces must `enable the connected workflows functionality <#enable-connected-workflows>`__.
1. Ensure that all Mattermost Enterprise servers are running v10.2 or later.

2. Using the System Console or slash commands, system admins `create a secure and trusted connection <#create-a-secure-connection>`__ with other Mattermost Enterprise instances. This process involves creating a password-protected, encrypted invitation, creating a strong decryption password, then sending the invitation and password to the system admin of a remote Mattermost instance.
2. `Enable the connected workflows functionality <#enable-connected-workflows>`__ for each Mattermost Enterprise instance you want to connect.

3. Using the System Console or slash commands, a remote system admin receives the invitation and `accepts the invitation <#accept-a-secure-connection-invitation>`__.
