Walkthrough
Find Your Unassigned Fields
Click Unassigned in the toolbar. The button shows a red badge with the count of unassigned fields on the current branch. The Unassigned Fields panel lists every unassigned field by name and type. Click the arrow next to a field to navigate to it on the canvas.The Unassigned button only appears when the current branch has unassigned fields.
Assign to a New Subgraph
Click the unassigned indicator on the field row to open the Assign to subgraph popover. Instead of selecting an existing subgraph, click Create new subgraph at the bottom of the list. The Create New Subgraph modal opens. Enter a name that reflects the domain of the new service and click Create.Review the Generated Schema
Hub creates the new subgraph immediately and places it on the canvas as a color-coded container with a connection line from the supergraph. To inspect the generated SDL, click Schemas in the top nav. The left sidebar lists every subgraph. Newly created subgraphs appear with a green badge. Select the new subgraph to view its SDL in the main panel. Confirm that the entity, key field, and assigned field are all present and correct.Evaluate the Service Boundary (Optional)
Click Optimizer in the toolbar to see how your operations execute against the updated schema. The Optimizer shows which services get called for each operation, in what order, and how complex each query is. Use it to check whether the new subgraph boundary introduces unnecessary service calls or affects the complexity of existing operations. See Optimizer for a full walkthrough.A new subgraph with valid federation schema, generated from a single field assignment. Entity keys and dependencies are resolved and the subgraph composes with the rest of the graph. The Unassigned badge clears when every field is placed.
