Disconnect from MongoDB

Disconnecting from a MongoDB deployment closes the Compass connection to the active deployment and returns the Compass view to the initial connection dialog. When you disconnect, Compass safely ends your session with the database server. This process ensures that any open transactions are closed and resources are freed on both the client and server sides.

Disconnecting is helpful when you want to switch between different MongoDB deployments, update your connection settings, or end your current session for security reasons. After disconnecting, you can always reconnect to the same deployment or connect to a different one.
