### Configuration

After connecting, the wizard advances to the Generate keys step.

#### Generate keys
<a name="aws-ace-generate-keys"></a>

On the Generate keys step, the connector issues an API key and a uuid. After you generate the keys, the Generate Keys button is disabled because keys are issued only once.

#### Configure

On the Configure step, set the sync behavior:

| Opportunity stage mapping | Map your pipeline stages to ACE stages |
