You can organize the nodes in your Script Graphs and State Graphs with node groups.

|
|
|
|
1. Release the mouse to create the group.
|
|
|
|
After you create a group, you can:
|
|
|
|
- [Change the group name](#change-a-group-name)
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Next steps
|
|
|
|
After you've created a node group, you can [add nodes to your Script Graph](vs-add-node-to-graph.md), [create and add variables](vs-add-variable-graph.md), or [add a Subgraph](vs-nesting-add-subgraph.md).
|
|
|

You can also add a [Sticky Note](vs-sticky-notes.md) to add comments to a graph. |
