Toconnect theUnion tool to the Predictive tools, we can select all of theUnion tool under theOutput Connectionssection and select thePredictive tools under theInput Connections section:
And that's it!Be sure to enjoy this new feature in 11.7!The documentation for thisfeaturecan be found here:Workflows: Connect tools: Connect multiple tools at once.
