Circles

Grouping people

Circles are like friend groups within a larger community: think of it like a tag you apply to people in your graph. You can create as many as you like, each with its own color, and a person can belong to multiple circles at once.

Here's some examples:

• clubs or teams
• coworkers at a common job
• households

anything that helps you carve the graph into meaningful subsets.

Creating a circle

In the Circles section in the sidebar, click New circle. Give it a name and pick a color from the swatch row, then click Create.

Adding people to a circle

Right-click a circle in the sidebar to open its options, then choose Edit members. A panel lists everyone in your graph — check the people you want to include and close the panel. Membership updates immediately.

You can also add someone to a circle from their profile panel: click a node to select it, open the panel, and toggle the circles you want them in.

Filtering by circle

Click a circle name in the sidebar to activate it. The canvas fades out everyone not in that circle so you can focus on just that group. Click the circle again — or click All people — to clear the filter.

Circle filtering and node focus (double-click on a node) stack: you can focus on one person inside an already-filtered circle to narrow the view even further.

Renaming and deleting circles

Right-click a circle to access Rename and Delete. Deleting a circle removes the group but leaves the people themselves untouched.
