# Graph

> How to navigate your project

The graph view is the fastest way to understand what you have modeled. It lets you see Nodes and Edges as a connected system, then drill into the parts that matter.

</Frame>

## **Navigate the canvas**

* **Zoom and pan** to move from a high-level overview to specific clusters.
* **Re-center your view** when you want to quickly get oriented again.

## **Inspect Nodes and Edges**

* **Click a node** to view details about that node and what it connects to.
* **Click an edge** to inspect the edge, including the connection type and how it links the two nodes.

## **Filter what you see**

</Frame>

As graphs grow, you rarely want to look at everything at once.

* **Filter by node type** to focus on a specific concept (Customers, Orders, Products).
* **Filter by edge type** to trace a specific kind of connection (owns, contains, belongs to).

## **Tune the layout**

</Frame>

Different layouts make different patterns obvious.

* **Adjust graph physics** to change spacing, clustering, and how tightly related nodes pull together.
* Use this to **separate dense clusters**, **surface hubs**, and **follow relationship paths** more clearly.

<Tip>
  **Tip:** Start broad, then narrow. Zoom out to understand structure, filter to isolate a question, then click edges to confirm the exact relationships.
