The newly created Marketo connection is displayed under the Marketo node in the Repository tree view, along with the schema of your interested custom objects.
You can now add a Marketo component onto the design workspace by dragging and dropping the Marketo connection created or any custom object retrieved from the Repository view to reuse the connection and/or schema information. For more information about dropping component metadata in the design workspace, see Using centralized metadata in a Job. For more information about the usage of the Marketo components, see the related documentation for the Marketo components.To modify the Marketo connection metadata created, right-click the connection node in the Repository tree view and select Edit Marketo from the contextual menu to open the metadata setup wizard.To edit the schema of an interested custom object, right-click the custom object node in the Repository tree view and select Edit Schema from the contextual menu to open the update schema wizard.
