The Directory serves two purposes:

• Member search - It enables you to search for and find other members, allowing you to view their profiles, send them messages, connect with them, and more.
• Connection hub - It lists all of the people you've connected with, along with any pending requests from others wanting to connect with you. Tap the appropriate button to either reject or accept connection requests.
