Tidy and fit the graph
Goal: Keep a large graph readable on the canvas without manual dragging.
Time: ~3 minutes
Steps
- Open your project on the canvas.
- Click Fit on the toolbar to zoom so all nodes are visible.
- Click Tidy on the toolbar to auto-arrange nodes into a cleaner layout.
- Optionally right-click empty canvas space and choose Tidy layout from the context menu (same action).
- Pan to review Run chains left-to-right: trigger → dialog → undo group → setters and actions.
- After adding many nodes from PatchAI, run Tidy again before sharing a screenshot or teaching a collaborator.
- 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 |
