Hi @REDACTEDUSER

This image shows the red circle with the "x" in it, meaning that the connection to Perforce is disabled. You can click on this icon to enable/disable Perforce, as noted in the documentation here:

[ https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lumberyard/latest/userguide/setting-up-lumberyard-perforce-plugin.html](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lumberyard/latest/userguide/setting-up-lumberyard-perforce-plugin.html)

As I mentioned, I suspect this is a source control issue due to the error message phrase you used above - "***Add and Save Failed Failed to put entries/dependencies into source control as the provider is not available***". I hope this helps to solve your issue, please let us know your results or any other steps we might have missed. Thank you!

Hey @REDACTEDUSER

Apologies for the troubles; Geppetto is part of our [legacy tools list](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lumberyard/latest/legacyreference/char-legacy-intro.html) and is being replaced with [EmotionFX](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lumberyard/latest/userguide/animation-editor-introduction.html), our new Animation system for Lumberyard. We have videos on how to use EMFX to get your animations into and working with Lumberyard [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSdFblCNN84&list=PLuGWzrvNze7KbG2x6ccIw8eMhL5e4Iwpe&index=37).

Hope this helps :D
