Adding and Removing Nodes

Adding nodes​

Add records to the canvas from the toolbar, by dragging and dropping from a Workspace browser or search results, or by pasting from the clipboard. Each node displays the record's display name and an icon resolved from its Concept. If the record has an associated image, the node can display that instead.

Creating records from the canvas​

Right-click on an empty area of the canvas and select the option to create a new record. The new record appears as an unsaved node, visually distinguished from persisted nodes until you save.

Removing nodes​

Select one or more nodes and delete them using the toolbar Delete button, the context menu, or the keyboard shortcut. Removing a node from the canvas does not delete the underlying record from the Workspace -- it only removes the node from the current Link Chart.

Creating Relationships between nodes​

Select exactly two nodes, right-click, and choose a Relationship type from the context menu submenu. The new edge appears immediately on the canvas.
