Connections are hidden in latest NinjaTrader

[ttodua]

Can you tell, when we install latest NT, we only see `Playback Connection` under Control Center window> Connections . neither "Add new" connection option or whatever.

Hello ttodua,

Thank you for your post.

If you would like to add additional connection types in version 8.1, you will need to enable Multi-Provider mode. The following article explains the steps:

Once Multi-Provider mode is enabled, you may add additional connections per the following connection guides:

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.

I think it was bad decision to hide away that "Add new" and many people will be confused and start NT support asking about where has Add new gone.
It might have been better that you had just `grayed out` the "Add new" button and while mouseover, it showed tooltop/popup saying that "Adding new connections is disabled, enter TOOLS>OPTIONS> enable MultiProvider checkbox to enable this feature". so, everything would have been better.
