Navigating the Chart: Pan, Zoom, Select

Pan and zoom​

Navigate the canvas using standard pan and zoom controls. Floating controls in the corner provide zoom buttons and a Fit to Canvas option that reframes the view to show all nodes. A minimap provides an overview of the entire graph. Both node and edge labels follow a level-of-detail system: labels hide automatically when you zoom out far enough and reappear as you zoom back in.

Selecting items​

  • Click to select a single item
  • Shift + drag to draw a rectangle and select everything inside it
  • Use the freeform lasso tool to draw an arbitrary selection boundary
  • Press Ctrl+A to select everything

Once you have a selection, you can:

  • Move items by dragging
  • Delete them
  • Group them
  • Inspect them in the sidebar If exactly two nodes are selected, right-click to create a new Relationship between them from the context menu.

When you select a node, the right sidebar can show that record's full details, Relationships, and metadata. A table view of the current selection is also available, with rows colored by Concept to match the graph's visual scheme. Selecting entities in a table or search results view can update the Link Chart's selection, making it easy to move between the graph and other views.

Context menu​

The right-click context menu adjusts based on your selection:

  • Empty area — Search for records or create a new one.
  • Single node — Access standard record actions (open, edit, etc.) and a Refresh option to reload the entity's data.
  • Two selected nodes — Access a submenu of available Relationship types to connect them directly.
