# How to Connect Nodes

1\. Move your cursor to the output point on the edge of the first node.

2\. Connect Nodes:

* Click and hold the mouse button on the output point.
* Drag the line to the input point of the next node.
* Release the mouse button to connect the nodes.

## When to Connect to the Main Node Input vs. the Field Input

* Always ensure the output data type matches the input field's required data type. For instance, connect code outputs to code inputs, text outputs to text inputs, and so on.&#x20;
* If an output doesn't match the required input field type of the following node(e.g., text output to code input), drag the output to the main input of the next node. This way, the output can be properly referenced and processed in the following node.
* When a node has multiple outputs, ensure each output is dragged to the correct subsequent node or field as specified in the node prompts. Different outputs can target different nodes or fields based on their required processing.
