1. Identify the issues to be linked: in this example, we want a blocks link from GIBRAL-27 to GIBRAL-29

2. If the issues are far from each other, do not hesitate to reposition them close to each other. Don’t worry about the layout, Visual Backlog will take care of fixing that

3. Drag and Drop a connection from the right port of GIBRAL-27 to the left port of GIBRAL-29

4. Select an issue link from the drop down, in this case it is a blocks link

5. Voilà! Visual Backlog will refresh the data and reposition the issues to reflect the new state.
