Tools are connected to define the sequence in which the processes will be applied to data. The output of one tool is the input of the next tool or tools to which it is connected.
A tool can have multiple inputs if necessary, but only a single output.
To connect two tools:
1. Click on a port on one tool, for example an output, and drag a line out to the input port of the second.
2. Release the line and it will automatically attach to the second process.

The cursor changes to a hand to indicate that the tool can be moved.
