# Using Charts

A chart view shows the hierarchical structure of the document. A chart is also handy for seeing many notes in one window. It is easy to re-structure the hierarchy of the document in a chart window, by dragging parts of the hierarchy to other parts of the hierarchy.

Notes in chart view display their badges, and long titles will wrap to multiple lines. A chart view does not show any of the links in the document.

### The disclosure triangle

As in outlines, a disclosure triangle allows you to expand to collapse an container or agent.

### Focusing the View

Focusing a chart view lets you focus on a specific part of your work. It may be useful to keep several different charts open in separate tabs or even separate windows.

To focus on a note in chart view,

- Double-click the icon of the note to be focused on, OR
- Select the note and choose Focus View from the Note menu

### Organizing Notes

You can drag notes in a chart window to rearrange the document’s hierarchy.

- Drop the note on the right half of another note to make it a child of the that note.
- Drop the note while on the left half of another note to make it a sibling of the that note.

If you drop the note elsewhere in the chart window, it will snap back to its starting location. The drag highlight indicates where the dropped not will move. Notes cannot be moved inside one of their descendants, inside an agent, or inside an alias.
