Read-only mode

In certain situations, Vertex graphs can be opened in read-only mode. In read-only mode, the following restrictions are applied:

  • New objects cannot be added to the graph (including via Search Around).
  • Graph nodes cannot be re-arranged (whether by drag-and-drop or other methods).
  • The toolbar at the top of the page is hidden.

When are Vertex graphs opened in read-only mode?

Below is a non-exhaustive list of the situations where a graph is opened in read-only mode.

  • When a graph is embedded in Workshop and the read-only mode setting is explicitly enabled in the widget configuration.
  • When a graph is opened in Carbon.
