How to isolate resources in a diagram

Find out how to isolate parts of your diagram to focus on resources and discover relationships

Use the 'Isolate' button at the top-right corner of the screen:

  • 1-hop isolate view - Show every entity one hop away from selected entity including itself
  • n-hop isolate view - Shows everything that is reachable from the selected entity
