{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
You must agree to all personal information and business asset access permissions (required items) to use it.
{% endhint %}

4. When you return to Laplace, **select every ad account you want to connect** in the **Data source** tab and click the **Data Connect** button to start the sync.

   ![Selecting ad accounts in the Data source tab, then clicking Data Connect](https://616205588-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fqr1veGyUqCNwQBBmk3yt%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-402159025a1afd7c1c7bd421502a397089d676e8%2Fstartguide__connect__ad__kakaokeyword__03.png?alt=media)

* Connected accounts appear in the connection table on the connector screen. From ⋯ (**More actions**) at the right of a row, you can **Refresh** and **Renew Authentication**.
* Because we import data from the very beginning of the account's history, **it can take more than an hour if there's a lot of data**.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Why does the data sync take so long?**

👉 Laplace doesn't just import your Kakao Keyword data; it also cleans the imported data and draws the charts. The more data there is, the longer it can take.

💬 You can track progress in **Jobs & data status** at the right of the top bar, and we'll also email you when the sync is complete. Collection continues even if you close Laplace, so feel free to close it.
