Connections are the arrows between screens. They show the path a user takes from one screen to the next, which is what makes a BenchCanvas map a flow rather than a pile of screenshots.

​
Automatic connections

When you capture from a URL, BenchCanvas detects the real navigation between screens and draws connections automatically. The result reflects how screens actually link, not a guessed order.

​
Add connections manually

You can connect screens yourself, which is useful for manually added screens or to capture a path the crawler missed.
1

Hover a screen

Connector handles appear on the sides of the screen.
2

Drag to the target

Drag from a handle to another screen to create a directional connection.
3

Adjust as needed

Repeat to build out the path. Connections follow the screens when you move them.

​
Remove a connection

Select a connection and delete it to remove a link you no longer want. You can rewire a flow at any time.
Clean connections make the automatic layout and AI analysis more useful, since both reason about how screens relate.
