Add the connectors in the sequence specified.

* The #1 connector connects the process step to the approve step.
* The #2 connector is added to the approve step first, and represents the "Approved" path.
* The #3 connector is added next, and represents the "Reject" path.

## Delete the original path

This is done so that the path goes through the approval step rather than to the End.
