# Connecting cards

> Draw, move and remove the lines between cards on your Board.

Lines tell Link Studio how people move from one card to the next. Blocks and the moving squares on the Board follow them.

## Three ways to draw a line

### With the Connect tool

1. Pick **Connect** in the toolbar, or press **L**.
2. Press on the first card and drag to the second.
3. Let go. The line snaps to the nearest sides of both cards.

You can also click the first card and then the second.

### From a selected card

1. With the **Select** tool, click a card.
2. Drag the handle on its left or right side to another card. Or click the handle, then click a card.

### From the edge of a card

With the **Select** tool, hover a card. Small squares appear in the middle of each side. Drag from one to another card.

## What a line means

A line from a link to a page says people who clicked that link go on to that page. A line from a page to Purchase says people go from that page to buying.

- A line counts the people seen at both cards, in order, within 30 minutes.
- Blocks read the cards connected into them, so a Total block adds up whatever links lead into it.

> **Note:** A line on its own doesn’t prove people took that path. The counts come from what tracking records.

## Moving or removing a line

To change a line:

1. With the **Select** tool, click the line. It turns orange.
2. To move it, drag the square at either end onto another card.
3. To remove it, click the bin at the top of the Board, or press **Delete**.

You can also draw a selection box across several lines and press **Delete** to remove them all at once.

## FAQs

### Which way should a line point on a Link Studio Board?

A Link Studio line points from the card you started on to the card you finished on. Draw it in the order people move, like Homepage to Checkout.

### Can one card on a Link Studio Board have several lines?

Yes. In Link Studio a page can have lines in from many links and lines out to several next steps.
