Relationship Graph

中文: 中文 · Wikilinks and Embeds · MOC-English Docs

The graph turns [[wikilinks]] into a space you can roam — nodes are notes, edges are links.

Views

ModeMeaningWhen to use
LocalActive note + its outlinks and backlinksWriting / reviewing one idea
VaultWider library graphFinding clusters, orphans, hub notes

Force layout spreads nodes to reduce overlap. Drag nodes, pan, and zoom as needed.

Panel capabilities

ActionResult
Click a node (without dragging)Open that note in the editor
Show in editorCover the editor pane with a full graph (toggle again to close)
Switch to another fileCloses the editor-area graph and shows the editor
FitFrame the current graph in the viewport
Animate / timelapsePlayback-style layout motion (toolbar control)
HoverSmoothly emphasize the node and its neighbors; the rest fade
Save / link editsGraph updates in place (keeps layout); no full re-seed
Outlinks / Backlinks listsSidebar lists; click to open; unresolved outlinks marked

A floating graph can open with complementary mode settings; Graph preferences sync across sidebar, floating panel, and Settings → Graph.

Densify links in this help vault: connect MOC-English Docs to chapters, then open Graph — you’ll see the “docs site” as a shape in space.

Reading recipe

  1. Open a hub note (MOC).

  2. Switch Graph to local — confirm children appear.

  3. Flip to vault — notice clusters.

  4. Click an unexpected neighbor — follow the thread in the editor.

  5. Use backlinks on a concept note to find forgotten references.
