# Custom Port Menu

## Description
The Custom [Port](Port.md) Menu is displayed in the **Node Settings** tab of the [Graph Inspector](Internal-Inspector) by clicking on the [Custom Function Node](Custom-Function-Node.md) and [Sub Graph](Sub-graph.md) output node. This menu allows you to add, remove, rename, reorder, and define the types of your custom input and output ports.

## How to Use
Select the [Custom Function Node](Custom-Function-Node.md) or the [Sub Graph](Sub-graph.md) output node to view the Custom Port Menu in the Inspector. To close the menu, click anywhere in the graph or on another graph-element.
