    I already know why I have this problem. In my personal computer it works , but doesn't work on my company. In the last, the CertifiedExtension folder is empty after installation instead of having the connector files, so the CommonDataService.pqx file is missing. If I get this file from another person, for example, and copy it to the folder I can already click on the connector. It must be related to security things in the work environment, that I will have to check. Thanks

      Yes, I have, And I refreshed. It does not appear in the option but I can see the dataverse icon in the header

      However nothing happens when I click there.

       

      In the version from Feb the icon does not appear at all.
