The graph

The graph shows your notes as dots and the links between them as lines, so you can see which notes gather together and which stand alone. Open it with Open the graph in the command palette, or Ctrl+G (Cmd+G on macOS). It takes the place of the note; Back to the note’s name returns to it.

A note’s dot is bigger the more links it has, and the note you came from is in the accent color. Point at a dot to see its links alone, and click it to open the note. Scroll to zoom, and drag to move around.

Every note, or the notes around one

Every note shows the whole vault. The notes around the note you came from shows it and the notes up to one, two or three links away, whichever way the links go: choose how many under Links away.

A link counts once from one note to another, whatever heading or block it names. Links to files, to notes the vault does not have, and within a note draw nothing.

Filtering

Type in Filter as you search, to keep the notes it names:

Write	To keep
tag:project	Notes with the tag, or a tag below it
path:Projects	Notes whose path has the text
prop:status or prop:status=active	Notes with the property, or with that value
roadmap	Notes with the word in their name or path
-tag:archive	Notes without the tag

Only the links between notes the filter keeps are drawn. Around a note, the note itself stays, whatever the filter.

From the keyboard

Find a note finds a note in the graph by its name, an alias or its path, and centres the view on it; Open and its name opens it. Zoom in, Zoom out and Show all move the view, and Arrange again lays the notes out again from where they are.

Large vaults

The graph draws with the GPU, so ten thousand notes still move smoothly. A graph with many links shows them once its notes are in place, and hides them while you zoom or move, then draws them again. Where the system has no WebGL, the graph says it cannot be drawn.
