# Manually link a Mirror Screen

Whatfix Mirror enables you to manually link the captured screens to simulate real user interactions within a web application. This functionality becomes particularly valuable when dealing with scenarios where two or more interactive elements or UI elements need to be incorporated into a single Mirror Screen.

For instance, you may want to hyperlink the home screen icon on all Mirror screens to the web application's homepage in the Mirror.

Manually linking screens ensures that your Whatfix Mirror behaves just like a web application, enabling users to seamlessly go between different sections of the simulated environment.

Use the following steps to manually link a Mirror Screen to an existing Mirror Workflow:

1. Launch **[Whatfix Studio](https://support.whatfix.com/studio/docs/how-to-install-the-whatfix-editor)** on your application. ![CLM_editor plug in2](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/CLM_editor%20plug%20in%282%29.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-10-29T11%3A23%3A11Z&se=2026-10-29T12%3A23%3A11Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=7motG%2FyNMlBlaQPMi%2F37HdZH9GqkBQ1ythtpBbdLG9o%3D)
