joined up
Linked together now
Joined up describes something connected into a coherent whole, especially British usage for integrated or coordinated: joined-up thinking, joined-up government.
The phrase suggests components working together rather than in isolation.
In British English, joined-up writing means cursive—letters connected without lifting the pen.
