Connector
In order to manage your Search G2 Collections, a new Search G2 Connector is added to the CMS Configuration Settings. For each Search G2 Collection that is managed, a Connetor will be created.
The new CrownPeak Search G2 Connector is available within the CMS via [Settings] [Configuration] [General Search G2]. (Figure 1)
Note: New Connectors are only configurable by CrownPeak Support.

Publishing Package Settings
To inform the CMS which Connector should be used for publishing at each workflow state, a Search G2 setting needs to be set in the Publishing Package using [Settings] [Publishing] [Package] (Figure 2).
