Node groups

Paint a set of nodes one colour so a project, course or theme stands out.

A node group is a named set of nodes with a colour attached. It's how you make one thread of work visible inside a graph of everything.

Making a group

You define which nodes belong in two ways, and you can combine them:

  • By search: every node whose title contains a word. A group called Biology catches every page with "Biology" in the title.
  • By hand: pick individual nodes that belong, whatever they're called.

What you can do with a group

Each group has three controls:

ControlWhat it does
ColourPaints the group's nodes so you can spot them in the crowd
HideTakes the group off the canvas
IsolateShows only this group and drops everything else

Groups are saved per graph

A group belongs to the graph it was made in. Your Main Graph and each Custom Graph keep their own sets, so a client graph doesn't inherit your personal colour scheme.

Groups don't change Notion: Colouring nodes is a Graphify view. It adds no tags, no properties and no changes of any kind to your pages.

Pro: Node groups are a Pro feature on the web. They're included in Graphify Desktop.

A note about publishing

If a node group is hidden when you publish a graph, it stays hidden for everyone who opens the link. For more information, see Sharing and embedding.
