Reviewing a draft
When a turn produces something, the panel widens and a pill at its top switches between Conversation and Draft · 12 (the count of what’s included). The Draft tab is where you decide.
At its top: Claude’s summary in italics, and a line of guidance: Nothing is in your graph yet. Untick anything you don’t want, fix names, and check the matches to existing nodes.
Changes to your graph
First, when the draft edits or removes what’s already there. See Changes and removals.
New nodes
One row per drafted node:
- A checkbox to include it.
- Its type’s bead, and its name in an editable field (red while it’s empty and included: a new node needs a name; a Number or Link title is read when you leave the field).
- The type name.
- The match menu: New; New · possible match (with a gold dot) or New · 2 possible matches when a node of the same type has the same or a similar name; Existing · same name / Existing · similar name / Existing when it’s been matched. The menu lists Add as a new node, each suggestion as Same as Entropy — same name or similar name, and Same as Another Node…, which opens a search over every node of that type.
- A chevron that opens the node’s other properties for editing; for a matched node it says instead “Uses the existing node as it is” or “Uses the existing node and fills in what it doesn’t have yet: summary, year. Nothing it already has is changed.”
Matching happens on this Mac: exact names are matched outright; similar names come from the always-on title index and are preselected only above a confidence floor.
New relationships
One row each: checkbox; from (bead and name, with an existing tag when that end is already in your graph, including a drafted node matched to one) → the relationship (a picker when more than one relationship type fits the pair) → to; a chevron for the relationship’s properties.
Rows the draft can’t add are dimmed with a note: a node is left out (one end is unticked), a node is being removed, or already in your graph (the same connection exists). Choosing a different relationship type keeps only the properties the new type also has.
What didn’t fit
A folded line, “3 things in the answer didn’t fit your shape”, opens to the reasons: a type the shape doesn’t have, a relationship between types it doesn’t connect, a value that isn’t an option.
Section headers
Each section says “New nodes · 12” or “9 of 12”, and offers Include all / Leave all out.
The footer
- Discard (asks: “Your graph stays as it is. The conversation stays too.”).
- “A new node needs a name” / “3 new nodes need names”, in red, while any included node is unnamed.
- The gold button, worded by what the draft does: Add 5 nodes and 7 relationships, Remove 3 nodes, Edit 4 nodes, Update 2 nodes, or Apply Changes for a mix, with the mix spelled out beside it: “Removes 2 nodes (and the 5 relationships of those nodes), edits 3 existing items, adds 4 nodes.” ⌘Return presses it.
Applied as one change: removals first, then new nodes (around the middle of the view, settling from there), fills and edits, then relationships; the canvas frames what went in. Undo on the result card, or ⌘Z, puts the graph back and reopens the draft.
A draft is checked against the graph as it is now, not as it was when the request left. If you deleted a node meanwhile, a relationship to it is marked; if you added one with the same name, it’s offered as a match. Edits you make to a draft are saved with the conversation as you make them.
