## Managing connected wallets

The **History sidebar** (accessible via the clock icon in the floating action buttons) shows your connected wallets alongside your transfer history. From this sidebar you can:

* View which wallet addresses are currently connected
* Review transfers associated with each connected address

To switch wallets, disconnect your current wallet from within the wallet extension and reconnect using the **Connect Wallet** button. To disconnect entirely, use your wallet extension's disconnect or revoke connection option.
