The action bar is your primary control panel located at the bottom of the canvas. It provides quick access to essential tools for creating, searching, optimizing, and collaborating on your API design. Action bar interface

Create

The Create button provides options for adding new components. You can create types and fields to add new data types, operations, or properties to your API schema. Create subgraphs to organize your API by business domain or functional area. Upload UI mocks to visualize how your API will be used. Learn more about working with types and fields

Optimizer

The Optimizer analyzes and improves your API performance. Write and test API queries to see execution plans and identify bottlenecks. Get insights into query complexity, execution plans, and performance metrics. The optimizer validates that your API design follows best practices and avoids structural issues, while field mapping visualizes which API parts are used by specific queries to understand change impact. Learn more about the optimizer

Searching

Search functionality helps you quickly locate API components. Find specific data properties or operations across your entire API, or locate specific subgraphs and add them to your current view for editing.

Threads

Threads enable collaborative discussion directly on your API design. Start conversations about specific API components with discussions attached to relevant parts. Team members can provide feedback and document decisions within the design environment, and mark discussions as resolved once decisions are made or issues are addressed.

Edge Settings

Edge settings control visual connections between API components.
  • Choose which relationship types to display to reduce visual complexity
  • Control how connections between subgraphs are shown to understand data flow
  • Toggle between internal subgraph relationships and external API connections

Reset

Reset returns your canvas view to its initial state.
  • Remove temporary changes and return to the base view without affecting saved API structure
  • Restore automatic positioning if manual adjustments have made navigation difficult
  • Clear visual clutter when experimenting with different arrangements during collaborative sessions
