The Graph

Press ⌃⌘G — or click Graph in the toolbar — and your document becomes a living map: every page a node, every link an edge, arranged by a gentle physics simulation.

The Graph: hubs grow, clusters form, orphans drift to the edge.
  • Size — the more connected a page, the larger its node. Your hubs are obvious at a glance.
  • Hover a node to light up its neighborhood; everything else fades.
  • Find — type in the field at the top-left and matching nodes light up while the rest dim; Return previews the best match. The button (or double-clicking the background) re-fits the whole graph in the window.
  • Click a node and the page appears in a preview pane on the right — the graph stays up, so you can keep exploring. Page links inside the preview move the preview (and the ring in the graph) to that page, and the ‹ › buttons in the pane header retrace your exploration. Drag the pane's left edge to resize it (double-click the divider to reset); the width is remembered.
  • Double-click a node — or ⌘-click it, or press Open Page in the preview — to leave the graph and really go there.
  • Drag nodes to untangle; drag the background to pan; scroll to zoom. Esc closes the preview pane first, then the graph.
  • Big documents — past a few hundred pages, the graph opens on the neighborhood of the current page (everything within two links) instead of an unreadable thousand-node tangle. A button beside Find swaps between the neighborhood and the whole document; on the whole-document view, labels appear as you hover or zoom in.

The graph is honest cartography of how you actually think: tight clusters are your projects, bridges are your themes, and lonely dots at the edge are pages waiting to be linked into the conversation.
