Select, move, and delete nodes

Goal: Edit your graph quickly — select nodes, move them, and remove mistakes.

Time: ~5 minutes

Steps

1. Select one node — click it on the canvas.
2. Select multiple — Shift-click additional nodes, or drag a marquee on empty canvas (see Marquee select vs pan).
3. Move — drag any selected node; the group moves together.
4. Delete — with nodes selected, press Delete or Backspace.
5. Or right-click the canvas → Delete node when one node is selected.
6. To remove a wire, select the wire if your build supports wire delete, or delete and re-add the downstream node — then rewire.
7. After deleting a trigger, Build & Run again so Live drops that menu command.

Expected result

Unwanted nodes disappear. Remaining Run and data wires stay valid. Build succeeds unless you removed a required part of the chain.
