Wormhole connection health can be set by right clicking the wormhole connection. This way you can set the mass criticality and end of lifetime of the connection. EOL connections are automatically deleted 4h 15m after the status is set. The "preserve mass" option is for informing other map users to not waste mass of this wormhole.

=== Practical example ===

Here is a practical example on how to add scan data to Pathfinder.

Our You arrive to the system of Octanneve. After making sure you are safe you start to scan the system. First mapper related thing you should do is to check if the mapper contains up to date information on cosmic signatures. If you are lucky all the signatures area already mapped and you don't need to scan at all. To do this select the system in which you are and look at the "Signatures" panel below the map.

| Old scan data of the system. You can see the age of the scan information at the right side of the table. In this example it has been 2 days 4 hours since someone scanned the system. You will need to completely re-scan the system.

Start by enabling the "lazy 'delete' signatures" option at top right corner. With this option enabled you can paste new full signature data of the system and all the signatures that are not present anymore will be deleted from pathfinder. Note that this option will automatically disable itself after every scan so you will need to re-enable it every time you need it.

Then open the probe scan window in-game.

| Select the probe scanner window, select all signatures with CTRL+A and copy them with CTRL+C.

Pay attention to the filters you use. In normal space information on anomalies is rarely useful and just adds unnecessary noise. So do not include information on anomalies in normal space. But in wormhole space the information on anomalies can be very imporatnt so in there they should be included.

Then just go back to pathfinder window and CTRL+V to add the info on signatures. Now you will easily see if any of the old signatures is still present in system. There is no need to scan those again so you will be able to scan faster by taking advantage on the old scanning information.

Once you have scanned all signatures you can add the scanned data in pathfinder the same way. Select signatures with CTRL+A, copy them with CTRL+C and paste them in pathfinder with CTRL+V.

In this example you find a wormhole in system. You, being a good explorer, will of course map it. Warp to the wormhole.

Once you are on grid with the wormhole you will be able to see the type of the wormhole on your overview. All wormholes have not very useful "k162" on their "out" end and a more useful name on the "in" end.<br>

In this example the "in" end is in this system. Add this information to the pathfinder.<br>

In the signatures panel click the red "unknown" text in the "type" column of the wormhole. Write in the name of the wormhole.<br>

Knowing the type of the wormhole will reveals the ship size limit, mass limit and what kind of system is on the "out" end of the wormhole.

To map the connection you jump through the wormhole. If you have tracking enabled in pathfinder the destination system is added and connected in the map automatically. If the tracking is not enabled you can right click the system you were in and select "add system" to add a system.

Now connect the signature to the wormhole. Click the "leads to" attribute of the wormhole in the signatures panel. The drop down menu will already contain the connected system for you to select. This information is useful later when the signature has gone away. When next person comes and removes the signature that is no more the mapped wormhole connection is also deleted without extra input.
