How cells can stick together while moving through a complex environment is not fully understood. In this issue, Grimsley-Myers et al. (2020. J. Cell Biol.https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201909081) demonstrate that, in the case of blood vessel formation, the balance between the maintenance of endothelial integrity and the dynamics of cell-cell contacts required for collective migration relies on VE-cadherin endocytosis
