The Automation section provides configuration options for controlling how the Extended Graph plugin behaves automatically across different graph views and usage scenarios.

Auto enable

Automatically enables the Extended Graph plugin when opening graph views.

Auto-enabling is subject to the maximum node limit setting. If a graph exceeds the configured node limit, the plugin will not auto-enable to prevent performance issues.

Starting state

This setting allows you to automatically load a specific graph configuration when the plugin starts, ensuring consistency across sessions. See Graph States for more information about creating and managing states.

Open nodes in new tab

When enabled, left-clicking on any node in the graph will open the corresponding note in a new tab instead of the current tab. When disabled, left-clicking on nodes opens notes in the current tab (default Obsidian behavior).

Reset graph views after changes

The plugin will automatically reset itself in all open graph views whenever close the settings modal after changes were made to the plugin settings. This ensures that changes take effect immediately without manual intervention.
