Tidy and fit the graph

Goal: Keep a large graph readable on the canvas without manual dragging.

Time: ~3 minutes


Steps

  1. Open your project on the canvas.
  2. Click Fit on the toolbar to zoom so all nodes are visible.
  3. Click Tidy on the toolbar to auto-arrange nodes into a cleaner layout.
  4. Optionally right-click empty canvas space and choose Tidy layout from the context menu (same action).
  5. Pan to review Run chains left-to-right: trigger → dialog → undo group → setters and actions.
  6. After adding many nodes from PatchAI, run Tidy again before sharing a screenshot or teaching a collaborator.
  7. Save your project so layout is preserved.

Expected result

Nodes line up in readable rows. Fit ensures nothing sits off-screen. Run wires are easier to follow at a glance.


If something goes wrong

Problem What to do
Still cluttered Split into two triggers or two projects — multiple menu commands are OK
Tidy overlaps nodes Zoom in; manually nudge one node; run Tidy again
Lost selection after Fit Click the node again; Fit does not change your graph logic
Cannot find Tidy Use toolbar Tidy or canvas right-click menu
