What is the first step Ana should take to establish a connection for Copado DX?

To successfully establish a connection for Copado DX, setting up Org Credentials is the foundational step that Ana should take. Org credentials are necessary for connecting to Salesforce orgs, including scratch orgs, development orgs, and production environments. These credentials ensure that the appropriate access rights are granted, allowing for the necessary permissions to deploy and manage metadata effectively.

Once the credentials are set, Ana can proceed with other configurations, but without proper credentials, she would not be able to connect to any Salesforce environment. It's crucial to have valid org credentials as they serve as a secure gateway for any actions taken within the Copado DX environment, such as creating user stories, defining scratch org configurations, or configuring deployment pipelines. Each of these subsequent steps relies on the successful establishment of a connection to the org, which is why setting up Org Credentials is the essential first step.
