How to add connection point with Visio online

Is there a way to add connection points to objects using the online version of Visio?
I’ve managed to add a few but somewhat randomly, without a clear process or function I can reproduce!

Thanks!

    Are you looking at this?

     

    1. Select the Shape: Click on the shape to which you want to add a connection point.
    2. Activate the Connection Point Tool: Go to the Home tab, then in the Tools group, click on the Connection Point tool (or press Ctrl+Shift+1).
    3. Add Connection Points: Hold down the Ctrl key and click where you want to add a connection point on the shape. Each click will add a new connection point.
    4. Switch Back to Pointer Tool: Once you’ve added all the connection points you need, press Esc or click on the Pointer Tool in the Tools group to return to the normal selection mode.

      Hi Kidd_Ip,

      This description work certainly perfectly with Visio destop application but the online version doesn't have this option available. This is the issue !

        If you do not select a shape, click on connector, mouse over shape until you see a bubble, click and drag to the next shape until you see a bubble then release.

        I really wish they had they ability to make the online like the desktop
