How to Read the Graph

This graph shows the structure of your writing.

• Nodes are important terms
• Lines show connections between ideas
• Click a node to inspect it
• Drag nodes to make the structure easier to see

Look for:

• Center — what your text revolves around
• Echo — what repeats
• Bridge — what connects ideas
• Gap — what is weak, isolated, or missing
• Signal — what carries weight in the structure

Use the graph to see what your writing is doing, then reflect and revise.
