Document Graph
Visualize the connections between your documents. See how ideas link together across your workspace.
What Is the Document Graph?
The document graph is an interactive visualization of all your documents and the wikilinks between them. Each document appears as a node, and each wikilink appears as a line connecting two nodes. Documents with more connections appear larger.
The graph helps you discover clusters of related content, find orphaned documents with no connections, and understand the overall structure of your workspace.
Opening the Graph
There are two ways to view the graph:
Full-Screen Graph
Press Cmd+Shift+G (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+G (Windows) to open the full-screen graph. This replaces the editor view with an interactive canvas showing all your documents. Press Escape or click the X button to close it and return to the editor.
Right Panel Graph
Open the right panel (PanelRight icon in the top bar) and select the Graph tab. This shows a local graph focused on the current document and its immediate connections. The right panel graph is useful for quick context without leaving the editor.
2D View
The default 2D view renders documents as colored circles on a flat canvas. You can:
- Pan by clicking and dragging the background
- Zoom with the scroll wheel or trackpad pinch
- Click a node to select it and see its title, link count, and folder
- Double-click a node to open that document in the editor
- Hover over a node to highlight its direct connections
Node colors are based on the folder the document belongs to. Unfiled documents use a default gray. Labels appear when you zoom in past a certain threshold.
The 2D graph is available on both the Free and Pro plans.
3D View
Switch to the 3D view using the toggle in the graph toolbar. The 3D view renders documents as spheres in a three-dimensional space, with text labels floating above each node. You can rotate the view by clicking and dragging, and zoom with the scroll wheel.
- Full document titles displayed as text sprites (no truncation)
- Purple-tinted link lines with subtle particles
- Folder-based spatial clustering
- Same click and double-click interactions as 2D
Graph Stats
The toolbar at the top of the graph shows two numbers: the total document count and the total link count. These update in real time as you add or remove wikilinks.
Tips
- Documents with no wikilinks appear as isolated nodes. Consider linking them to related documents to build out your graph.
- The graph uses a force-directed layout: connected nodes attract each other, unconnected nodes drift apart. The layout stabilizes after a few seconds.
- Your preferred view mode (2D or 3D) is saved and restored the next time you open the graph.
