Steps to connect flowchart nodes

1

Activate the Diagram block

Click anywhere inside the Diagram block to start interacting with the canvas and reveal the connection tools.

2

Reveal connection points

Hover your mouse over the node (shape) you wish to start from. You will see small dots appear around its edges; these are the connection points.

3

Click and drag the connector

Click on one of the connection dots and hold the mouse button. Drag the resulting line toward the node you want to link it to.

4

Snap to the target node

Drag the connector line to a connection dot on the second node. When you release the mouse, the line will automatically snap into place, creating a permanent link.

5

Review the connection

Once connected, the nodes will remain linked even if you move them around the canvas, ensuring your process flow stays intact.

Finished

You have successfully learned how to connect nodes in your flowchart!

By mastering these connections, you can build dynamic, easy-to-read diagrams that visualize complex workflows within your QuoteCloud documents.
