As always thank you for implementing our feature requests. I am so excited to try out local graph. #### Some feedback for Local graph view in [v.0.37.0](https://community.anytype.io/t/anytype-desktop-0-37-0-released/12795/8) **1.** Currently it is like an alternative flow view, seeing everything linking back to the centre node. **It would be great if we can see connections between ‘external’ nodes.** There is something like this in obsidian, called neighbouring links, red lines in the picture below. ![image](https://community-static.anytype.io/original/2X/b/b680b4603f5cd10a9ced366ab0adf57299e6a260.png) **2.** **One layer/depth of linkage/relation is not enough for observing pattern usage of graph view.** For example, in the process of finding common emotions in [journal entries](https://community.anytype.io/t/effective-journaling-practices-for-better-life-quality/9750), I would need to use local graph for a set (centre node), for displaying several entry objects (one depth away), and then look at emotion objects (second depth). The following obsidian’s local graph with a 2 level of depth, is the same object’s local graph of the above picture. This illustrates a big difference between the pulled information and function of graph. ![image](https://community-static.anytype.io/original/2X/9/91d1b87b4875f2d3ca7a30483b519441fcf31ab7.png) **3.** Local graph confirms that there is a **‘strange unknown irregular force’ determining the constellation of nodes**.. As you can see in the picture 3 below, all the nodes (except 3) have the same relation type linking to the centre node.. but some gather together and form shapes and some don’t (this theoretically speaking could be a feature to show hierarchical differences) - 🤔 This could potentially be caused by level 2+ hidden objects’ relations to the external nodes, but this speculation is not enough to convince me the irregular linkage of lv2+ objects would cause such pattern. Also, local graph should be different to [filter to global graph](https://community.anytype.io/t/better-filters-for-the-graph-view/5898) which should display and calculate what’s only relevant to visual nodes,\*\* so this explanation doesn’t make sense to me.. ![image](https://community-static.anytype.io/original/2X/a/aeafb644fc638c83dd9160f4c7060ddf348fe51f.png) 1. It feels a little strange to be able to hide the main objects, under the graph setting that links, relations and unlinked objects are off.. (Sadly, I still can’t understand Anytype’s definition of unlinked objects, for both global and local graph) 2. **Slight roughness in workflow** : when reaching for an undisplayed object or any object form search pane, it returns to object canvas first, then I need to call for graph view again.. ∵ it is not possible to search for undisplayed object from magnifying glass/cmd+f ← but I also don’t think cmd+f is a good location to do so because when there are lots of linked/related objects, graph view needs to be maintained for finding object P.S. Scrolling with cursor on object is very good with the position is maintained👍. Obsidian doesn’t do this when zooming out --- _[View the full topic](https://community.anytype.io/t/local-graph-view/7615)._
