Using the Graph
Navigate, filter, and inspect the knowledge graph
Using the Graph
The knowledge graph page is split into a canvas, a filter panel, and a sidebar.
Canvas
- Pan by dragging the background.
- Zoom with the scroll wheel or trackpad.
- Select a node by clicking it.
- Select an edge by clicking the connection between two nodes.
The layout is computed automatically so related entities cluster together.
Filter panel
The filter panel in the top-right corner lets you show or hide node and edge types:
- Toggle Character, Conversation, or Lore Item nodes.
- Toggle Mention, Mentioned In, Relation With, or Conversation Participant edges.
Hidden types are dimmed in the legend and removed from the canvas until you show them again.
Sidebar
When you select a node or edge, the sidebar shows:
- The entity names involved (for edges: source and target).
- An instance list of every indexed occurrence that contributed to the selection.
Each instance card shows:
- The source field (for example, dialogue text or a description).
- A preview of the matched content.
- A Go to source action that opens the conversation or editor where the reference was found.
Go to source
Use Go to source to jump from an abstract relationship in the graph to the exact line or field where it appears in your project.
Empty or sparse graphs
If the graph looks empty:
- Confirm your project has characters, conversations, or lore items.
- Check that references use @-mentions in rich text fields, not plain text.
- Wait for indexing to finish if the updating banner is visible.
See How indexing works for what triggers a reindex.
