# Connect Arena PLM

> Connect an Arena account so Adam can work with items, BOMs, suppliers, files, and changes.

The Arena integration lets Adam work with authorized Arena product data, including items, bills of materials, suppliers, files, and changes.

## Connect Arena

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Arena in Integrations">
    In Adam, select **Integrations**, search for **Arena**, and open its connection card.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter your Arena credentials">
    Sign in with the Arena email address and password for the account Adam should use.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify the account">
    Confirm Arena appears under **Connected**, then ask Adam to inspect a known item or change without editing it.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Adam uses the credentials to establish the Arena session. The integration stores the resulting session in encrypted form; it does not save your Arena password.

## Work safely with PLM data

Arena permissions remain in effect. Use an account whose Arena role matches the work Adam is allowed to perform.

For changes to released product data, separate review from execution:

<Prompt description="Inspect an Arena change before writing" actions={["copy"]}>
  Inspect change order ECO-1042. Summarize its affected items, BOM changes, missing approvals, and attachment gaps. Do not modify Arena. End with a proposed correction plan and wait for approval.
</Prompt>

<Warning>
  A write to an item, BOM, or change process can affect downstream manufacturing work. State the exact records Adam may change and require approval when the task is exploratory.
</Warning>

## Disconnect or repair the session

Open **Integrations** → **Connected**, select Arena, and disconnect the account when it should no longer be used by the team.

If Arena stops responding:

* confirm the Arena account can sign in directly and is not locked;
* check whether the account's password, role, or organization access changed;
* disconnect and reconnect to establish a fresh session; and
* retry with a specific record that the account is known to access.
