Frequently asked questions, answered.

SonarQube for IDE can connect to either SonarQube Server or SonarQube Cloud to enable communication of code issue reporting and other team decisions between team members. This connection is known as connected mode, and it can be easily set up from within your preferred IDE.

While in connected mode, SonarQube for IDE receives notifications from SonarQube Server/Cloud about your Quality Gate changes and new issues. Smart notifications can be enabled and team decisions can be shared.
