Version:
Understanding how the Connect pipelines and their processors work provides you with insight into how dependencies are rendered, how tokens for rendering variants are created, how CSS classes are generated, and so on.
A pipeline consists of a sequence of processors. A processor is a .NET class that implements a method. When a pipeline is invoked, the processors are run in order. You can extend and customize the pipelines by adding or replacing processors. Extending a pipeline involves modifying the pipeline definition located in a Sitecore patch file.
