actualNoteContentPart: # What is the Graph View mode?
  Graph View is the best way to browse through and organize your hundreds (or thousands) of notes -- visually. In order to view your personal web of wisdom, click the button labeled "Graph":
  
  
  
  
  
  Whenever you're taking notes and deciding to [create a link to another note](https://www.amplenote.com/help/double-bracket-note-link-syntax) , you are creating a connection. These connections have always been visible in the "Backlinks" tab of each note, but now you can also visualize them by visiting the new Graph View mode. ✨
  
  
  
  
  
  Each circle (interchangeably referred to as "node" or "graph node") represents a note. The more content in your note, the bigger its circle. The color of each circle is determined by the tags that are applied to that note. If a note has multiple tags with different colors, its circle will show a gradient between those colors. 🎨

  You'll also notice that some nodes are connected to other nodes via arrows. Those arrows represent the connections/links between notes that you created when editing those notes in the past. Arrows will always have the origin at the note that contains the link and will end at the note which is linked.
  
  You can think of your Note Graph as a map of your notes and how they relate to each other. You can browse this representation of your notes to get insights that would otherwise be impossible without this visualization. For example, you might find a note that has an unusually large number of arrows pointing outwards. This likely means that you've created that note to serve as a "table of contents" for other related notes:
  
  
  
  
  
  Graph View is also great at surfacing "isolated nodes", that is nodes not connected via arrows to anything else. These correspond to notes that (1) don't link to other notes and (2) are not mentioned in any other notes either. The Note Graph helps you find those outliers and [act accordingly]() .
  
  
  
  
  
  ## What if I don't have many links between my notes?
  If this is you, you are not alone! In a world before Graph View, creating a link was a bit more abstract and there were no satisfying visuals to accompany that action. But fear not because starting now, the more often you will be checking your Note Graph, the more links you will want to create between your notes in the future.
  
  That said, if you want to catch-up on your note connections, we have two suggestions for you:
  Use the [Unliked References](https://www.amplenote.com/help/backlinking_bidirectional_linking#Unlinked_references)  tab of a note to look for potential connections you might have missed
  Use the [AutoLink Plugin](https://www.amplenote.com/plugins/vw2kE7g4ajbUCqLTjVKcDwa1)  to automatically apply links to a text selection.
