# Graph Toolbar & Element Actions

> In-canvas search, selection helpers, add node/edge flows, delete, and related controls.

The Graph toolbar is an overlay shown on the Graph canvas. It’s focused on searching, selecting, and modifying graph elements.

## In-canvas element search

The search input supports matching against:

* Node/edge **property values** (string prefix match)
* **IDs**
* **Relationship type** (edges)
* **Labels** (nodes)

Keyboard behavior:

* `Enter`: jump/select the highlighted suggestion
* `Arrow Up/Down`: move through suggestions
* `Esc`: clear search

Selecting a suggestion zooms/fits the canvas around the matched element.

## Element actions (create / delete)

When the user is not Read-Only, the toolbar supports:

* **Add node**
* **Add edge** (typically only enabled when two nodes are selected)
* **Delete** selected element(s)

These actions open additional UI (e.g., the Add panel) and/or call graph API routes.

## Layout & limit warnings

The toolbar can display warnings when:

* The current query hit a result limit
* The configured limit changed relative to the last query

## Frequently Asked Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="How does the in-canvas search work?">
    Type in the search input to match against node/edge **property values** (prefix match), **IDs**, **relationship types**, or **labels**. Select a suggestion to zoom the canvas to that element.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I add a new node to the graph?">
    Click the **Add node** button in the toolbar (available to non–Read-Only users). This opens the Add panel where you can specify labels and properties for the new node.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I add an edge between two nodes?">
    Select **two nodes** on the canvas, then click **Add edge** in the toolbar. This is typically only enabled when exactly two nodes are selected.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What does the result limit warning mean?">
    It means your query returned more results than the configured limit allows. Increase the **result limit** in Settings → Browser Settings → Query execution to see more results.
