Add arrows to connect posts

Want to connect your posts like this?

Of course you do! It's very visually pleasing when doing projects like a family tree or showing how one thing relates to many others.

Connecting posts

To insert arrows, you'll need to choose the Canvas or Map format. Then you need to create two posts. Once you've done that, click the vertical three-dot ellipsis button (...) on the top right of the post. Then, click Connect to a post.

Now select which content you'd like to connect with the arrow. Click Connect.

This feature is great for displaying family trees, crafting flow charts and pointing people in the right direction.

Labels

You can add labels to the connection by typing in the Label (optional) field when connecting a post.

Click on the vertical three-dot ellipsis button (...) of the post > click Connect to a post > type what you want in the Label area > click Connect. Now you have a Label!

FAQs

I need to change the label on one of my connections but I don't know how.
To change the label you will need to disconnect from the post first. Click on the vertical three-dot ellipsis button (...) > Disconnect from a post > Click the X on the connection to delete > click on the vertical three-dot ellipsis button (...) again > Connect to a post > input the new label in Label (optional) field > Connect.
