Entities

Entities is the complete node list for the active project.

Sort and open items

Choose a column header to sort by it; choose it again to reverse direction. Columns include name, type, created, and updated. Select a node name to open its detail. On a node detail page, select a relationship type in Outgoing connections or Incoming connections to open that relationship, or select the connected node name to open the node. Use the header icons to show a hidden section.

The table follows active project time, so items outside the viewed moment may be absent. Switch to All time if you need the unprojected graph.

Add a node

Choose Add node, then:

1. Enter an optional node name.
2. Select a node type, or type a new name to create a basic type.
3. Open Details to enter optional type properties.
4. If time is active, decide whether the node is Timeless.
5. Choose Create node, or use its attached arrow to select Create and connect or Create with spatial layout. Press the main button to create.

Create and connect saves the node and continues into Add connection in the same modal. Create with spatial layout creates an owned map. Use Alt+Enter to change the completion path while typing and Cmd/Ctrl+Enter to submit. Closing and reopening the form restores its draft during the current app session.

Details summarizes the number of filled properties. Closing it with Done or Esc keeps the entered values; creating saves them with the node. If a property is invalid, Details reopens and focuses it for correction.

Connect entities

Open an entity and choose Add connection, or choose Create and connect when creating a node.

1. Select or name a relationship type.
2. Search for the node at the other end. If it is missing, use Create node in the picker, then return to the connection with it selected.
3. Check the arrow between the endpoints. Use Swap connection direction if they should run the other way.
4. Open Details to enter optional type properties.
5. If time is active, decide whether the relationship is Timeless.
6. Choose Create connection, or press Cmd/Ctrl+Enter.

Back to connection or Esc cancels endpoint creation and restores the relationship draft. A node already saved during this flow stays in the project even if you cancel the connection. See Nodes and relationships for draft recovery and spatial-layout save failures.

To delete a relationship from a node detail page, choose its trash action in Outgoing connections or Incoming connections, then confirm Delete relationship. This removes the relationship from the project everywhere, including layouts, but keeps both connected nodes. You can also create and delete relationships on a relational Canvas.

Edit complex values

Property forms adapt to their definition. Lists support adding, removing, and reordering items. Primitive values use dedicated controls. Enums without payloads use a searchable option menu. Structs, payload enums, referenced structured data types, and nested lists open a guided editor with controls for each declared field.

The Entities page currently does not expose a node delete action. Review the warnings in Nodes and relationships before deleting anything from a relational Canvas or through a type cascade.
