Designer guide Resolve an occupied connection

Split and Replace decisions

When a new connection conflicts with an existing consumer, the designer can modify the topology rather than silently overwriting it.

When to use

Use this page while editing or reviewing the graph in the designer.

Split inserts a Split stream after the existing source, reconnects the old consumer through it, and adds the new consumer as another branch.
Replace removes the conflicting link and creates the requested connection.
Cancel leaves the graph unchanged. If the operation had just created a stream, that temporary stream is removed.
If the source is already a Split transformation, another branch is connected directly without inserting a second Split.

Open the designer and select Graph.
