# Shader Graph Window
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
The **Shader Graph Window** contains the workspace for creating shaders with the **Shader Graph** system. To open the **Shader Graph Window**, you must first create a [Shader Graph Asset](index.md). For more information, refer to the [Getting Started](Getting-Started.md) section.
|
|
|
|
The **Shader Graph** window contains various individual elements such as the [Blackboard](Blackboard.md), [Graph Inspector](Internal-Inspector.md), and [Main Preview](Main-Preview.md). You can move these elements around inside the workspace. They automatically anchor to the nearest corner when scaling the **Shader Graph Window**.
|
|
|
|
## Toolbar
|
|
|
|
The toolbar at the top of the **Shader Graph Window** contains the following commands.
|
|
|
|
| Icon | Item | Description |
|
|
|:--------------------|:--------------------|:------------|
|
|
|  | **Save Asset** | Save the graph to update the [Shader Graph Asset](index.md). |
|
|
|  | **Save As** | Save the [Shader Graph Asset](index.md) under a new name. |
|
|
| | **Show In Project** | Highlight the [Shader Graph Asset](index.md) in the [Project Window](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/ProjectView.html). |
|
|
| | **Check Out** | If version control is enabled, check out the [Shader Graph Asset](index.md) from the source control provider. |
|
|
|  | **Color Mode Selector** | Select a [Color Mode](Color-Modes.md) for the graph. |
|
|
|  | **Blackboard** | Toggle the visibility of the [Blackboard](Blackboard.md). |
|
|
|  | **Graph Inspector** | Toggle the visibility of the [Graph Inspector](Internal-Inspector.md). |
|
|
|  | **Main Preview** | Toggle the visibility of the [Main Preview](Main-Preview.md). |
|
|
|  | **Help** | Open the Shader Graph documentation in the browser. |
|
|
|  | **Resources** | Contains links to Shader Graph resources (like samples and User forums). |
|
|
|
|
## Workspace
|
|
|
|
The workspace is where you create [Node](Node.md) networks.
|
|
To navigate the workspace, do the following:
|
|
- Press and hold the Alt key and drag with the left mouse button to pan.
|
|
- Use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in and out.
|
|
|
|
You can hold the left mouse button and drag to select multiple [Nodes](Node.md) with a marquee. There are also various [shortcut keys](Keyboard-shortcuts.md) you can use for better workflow.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Context Menu
|
|
|
|
Right-click within the workspace to open a context menu. However, if you right-click on an item within the workspace, such as a [Node](Node.md), the context menu for that item opens. The workspace context menu provides the following options.
|
|
|
|
| Item | Description |
|

|
|
| **Create Node** | Opens the [Create Node Menu](Create-Node-Menu.md). |
|
|
| **Create Sticky Note** | Creates a new [Sticky Note](Sticky-Notes.md) on the Graph. |
|
|
| **Collapse All Previews** | Collapses previews on all [Nodes](Node.md). |
|
|
| **Cut** | Removes the selected [Nodes](Node.md) from the graph and places them in the clipboard. |
|
|
| **Copy** | Copies the selected [Nodes](Node.md) to the clipboard. |
|
|

|
|
| **Delete** | Deletes the selected [Nodes](Node.md). |
|
|
| **Duplicate** | Duplicates the selected [Nodes](Node.md). |
|

| **Select / Unused Nodes** | Selects all nodes on the graph that are not contributing to the final shader output from the [Master Stack](Master-Stack.md). |
|
|
| **View / Collapse Ports** | Collapses unused ports on all selected [Nodes](Node.md). |
|
|
| **View / Expand Ports** | Expands unused ports on all selected [Nodes](Node.md). |
|
|
| **View / Collapse Previews** | Collapses previews on all selected [Nodes](Node.md). |
|
|
