- Manually in each agent

You are not able to change this setting later on.
# Directly in Workato - Cloud profiles
This option allows you to set up a connection directly in Workato as a cloud profile instead of managing local configuration file. On-prem group for cloud profiles
# Manually in each agent - Connection profiles
The connection details have to be set up in on-prem agent config file as a connection profile. This is the legacy way of setting up the connections.
