Unable to see my previous datasource connections in fabric dataflow

I have imported some tables using a sql server connection in to a dataflow, after 5 days i wanted to import few more using same econnection, but that connection is not visibile in my recent connections, where do i find that same connection now from my dataflow to import table. 

Im seeing the connection in manage datasouce connections, but unable to find it in recent connections.

Where is the exact navigation to locate & connect to the previous connections we created ?

Hello @imiuser - welcome to the Fabric Community.  Below are examples of how you can locate dataflows and data source connections.  Please let me know if you have any other questions.

 

If you have already created a dataflow with tables from SQL and need to locate the same data source connection...

Data source Connections - go to app.Fabric.com, click the gear icon in the top-right and choose Manage Connections and Gateways.

If you are wanting to add more tables to an existing dataflow, you'll also need to know which dataflow you previously used....

Dataflows - go to app.Fabric.com, click the OneLake catalog on the left pane, filter on Process Types and choose dataflow.  A list of dataflows for which you have access will be displayed, showing you the name, workspace location and some other helpful info.  This can come in handy if you don't really remember what you have access to.
