Connecting Blocks To Other Blocks


There are different ways to link Note Blocks together. You could link multiple blocks to a single block, link a single block to another single block or link a single block to multiple blocks.



The simplest way to link two blocks together with a connector line


Move your mouse over the top right hand side of a block and click on the linking icon that is shown on the title of the note block:
Now, the Noteboard is in "choose link" mode, so when you move your mouse over another block a temporary link line is shown. Left click on the block you want to link to, and a permanent connector line will be created. Click on the canvas blank area instead of a block to cancel.


The new connector line is the purple line. However, you can change the style and colour of it.
