# Add a Subgraph to a Script Graph
|
|
|
|
A Subgraph is a Script Graph nested inside of another Script Graph. A Subgraph appears as a single node inside the parent Script Graph.
|
|
|
|
You can add a Subgraph to a Script Graph in two ways: create an entirely new Script Graph, or add an existing Script Graph file.
|
|
|
|
## Add a new Subgraph to a Script Graph
|
|
|
|
To add a new blank Subgraph to an existing Script Graph:
|
|
|
|
1. [!include[with-graph-open-ff](./snippets/vs-with-graph-open-ff.md)]. Go to **Nesting** and select **Subgraph**.
|
|
|
|
2. In the Graph Inspector, choose the **Source** for your Subgraph:
|
|
|
|
- **Embed**: The Subgraph only exists on the Subgraph node. You can only modify the Subgraph from the node in its parent graph.
|
|
- **Graph**: The Subgraph exists in a separate file. You can modify the Subgraph outside of its parent graph and reuse the graph in other areas of your application.

|
|
|
|
3. If you chose **Graph**, select **New**, enter a name for your graph file, and choose where you want to save it. Select **Save**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Add an existing Script Graph as a Subgraph
|
|
|
|
To add an existing graph file as a Subgraph in a Script Graph:
|
|
|
|
> [!NOTE]
|
|
> You can't nest a Script Graph as a Subgraph in its own graph file.
|
|
|
|
1. [!include[with-graph-open-ff](./snippets/vs-with-graph-open-ff.md)]. Go to **Nesting** and select **Subgraph**.
|
|
|
|
2. In the Graph Inspector, set your **Source** to **Graph**.
|
|
<br/>
|
|
|
|
[!include[graph-inspector-tip.md](./snippets/vs-graph-inspector-tip.md)]
|
|
|
|
3. In the **Graph** field, select the object picker (circle icon) and choose a compatible Script Graph from your project. You can also click and drag a Script Graph file from your Project window and drop it into the **Graph** field.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> [!TIP]
|
|
> For a faster way to add a Script Graph as a Subgraph, click and drag the Script Graph from your Project window into the Graph Editor to automatically create a Subgraph node.
|
|
|
|
## Next steps
|
|
|
|
To open your new Subgraph for editing, select **Edit Graph**.
|
|
|
|
Once you've added a Subgraph to your Script Graph, define its Input and Output Triggers and Input and Output Data. For more information, see [Add a Trigger or Data port to a Script Graph](vs-add-triggers-data-graph.md).
