It seems like you're referring to a custom connector but didn't provide a specific question. However, I can provide some general information about custom connectors in Airbyte. A custom connector in Airbyte is a connector that you build to suit your specific needs. It could be for an external source or destination like a public API, off-the-shelf DBMS, data warehouses, etc., or for an internal source or destination specific to your organization. If you'd like to build new connectors and make them part of the pool of pre-built connectors on Airbyte, you can check the [contributing guide on building connectors](https://docs.airbyte.com/contributing-to-airbyte/). If you want to build new connectors, or update existing ones, for your own usage, without contributing to the Airbyte codebase, you can follow the guide on [developing your own connector](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/custom-connectors/). To add your custom connector to the Airbyte UI, you need to get the Docker coordinate of the custom connector from Dockerhub or any image repository that Airbyte can access. Then, in the UI, go to the Admin section, and click on
[+ New connector]
on the top right. You will be asked for the display name, the Docker repository name (repository + image name), tag, and documentation URL for that connector. Once this is filled, your connector will appear in the UI and your team will be able to use it, from the UI and Airbyte's API too ([source](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/custom-connectors/)). If you're developing a connector using the connector builder UI, the current state is saved in a connector builder project. These projects are saved as part of the Airbyte workspace and are separate from your source configurations and connections. In the last step of the tutorial, you will publish the connector builder project to make it ready to use in connections to run syncs ([source](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/connector-builder-ui/tutorial)). I hope this information helps! If you have a more specific question about custom connectors, feel free to ask.
