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?
- Select the Shape: Click on the shape to which you want to add a connection point.
- 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
). - 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. - 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 !- lthurmanJul 18, 2025Copper Contributor
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
