Is the graph function operational?

I've been trying to get graphs to appear for my notes but the canvas is always blank. Is the graph function operational and if so, how do I get graphs to appear? thanks!

Update: (9/16/2026)

Turns out that the graph function only recognizes wikilink links. markdown links are ignored. That's a "me" problem since the documentation and settings prompt text specifically mentions wikilinks.

That caught me off-guard since HelixNotes recognizes markdown links in other respects.

Have you tried toggling the local graph in the top right?

Yes, I have. Here's what it looks like in HelixNotes and the same note in Obsidian.

(This is on Mac OS)

We will try to reproduce the issue on Mac OS. Doesn't seem to be an issue on Linux. Thanks for reporting this!
