If necessary, click the Show Connectors button in the lower-right corner (when connector lines are enabled, the button looks like this the Hide Connectors button), click the file, then drag one of the arrows up, down, left, or right, to add a connector line to the other item.

Continue to build your board by adding text, shapes or lines, diagrams, photos or videos, links, and sticky notes.
