Filters

Decide what shows up on the canvas and how that differs from changing how it looks.

Filter or appearance?

Two different panels, and mixing them up is the most common confusion:

  • Filter answers which nodes and links are on the canvas at all.
  • Appearance answers sizes, distances, colours.
The filter panel open beside the graph, with the canvas still live behind it.

Pro: On the web, advanced filters are part of Pro. On Graphify Desktop they're included.

What you can filter by

Type part of a page title. Matching nodes and their connections are highlighted.

Search resets each time you start the app. Every other filter stays where you left it.

Isolated nodes

Turn these off to hide every node with no connections.

Show or hide mention, relation and link to page independently, and recolour them if the defaults don't suit you.

mentionYou typed @ and picked a page.
relationTwo database entries are linked by a relation property.
link to pageYou used Link to page, or pasted a link to a page.

Databases

Hide whole Notion databases. Useful when one big database, like meeting notes, say drowns out everything else.

Status

Filter by the values of your Notion status properties.

Minimum connections

Hide anything with fewer connections than you set. Raise it and the hubs of your workspace are what's left.

Node groups

Colour, hide or isolate a named set of nodes. That has its own page, see Node groups.

A section you can't find: The panel only shows sections that have something to offer. No Status section means none of your synced pages has a status property yet.

Filters and graphs

Filter settings are remembered per graph. Switching to another Custom Graph brings that graph's own filters with it, so you're not constantly resetting things.
