# Shader Graph Window
|
|
|
|
## Description
|
|
|
|
The **Shader Graph Window** contains the workspace for creating shaders using the **Shader Graph** system. To open the **Shader Graph Window** you must first create a [Shader Graph Asset](index.md). For more information see the [Getting Started](Getting-Started.md) section.
|
|
|
|
The **Shader Graph** window contains various individual elements such as the [Blackboard](Blackboard.md), [Graph Inspector](Internal-Inspector.md), and [Main Preview](Main-Preview.md). These elements can be moved inside the workspace. They will automatically anchor to the nearest corner when scaling the **Shader Graph Window**.
|
|
|
|
## Title Bar
|
|
|
|
The title bar at the top of the **Shader Graph Window** contains actions that can be performed on the **Graph**.

## Workspace
|
|
|
|
The workspace is where you create [Node](Node.md) networks.
|
|
You can navigate the workspace by holding Alt and left mouse button to pan and zoom with the scroll wheel.
|
|
|
|
You can hold left mouse button and drag to select multiple [Nodes](Node.md) with a marquee. There are also various shortcut keys to use for better workflow.
