This chapter covers the connection itself: how to create it, where its value comes from, and how it reads or writes. Start with **Two Ways to Bind** if you are deciding between an Inspector connection and a field declared in code. ## Create and edit a connection

Bind Types	Choose Bind<T>, a read-only field, or a collection of bindings.	Bind Types	cover-binding.svg
Proxy Bindings	Connect Unity components and assets without editing their code.	Proxy Bindings	cover-binding.svg

## Find the value and control its updates


Sources	Use references, variables, tags, searches and other source modes.	Sources	cover-binding.svg
