Collapse and Expand Subtrees

Overview

Any node with children can be collapsed to hide its subtree. Collapsed nodes show a +N badge indicating how many children are hidden. The canvas animates smoothly when collapsing and expanding.

Collapse state is saved per initiative, so your view is preserved when you navigate away and return.

Collapsing a single node

Click the collapse arrow on a node card that has children.

The node's subtree hides and a +N badge appears on the card showing the child count.

Click the badge or the expand arrow to restore the subtree.

Collapse All / Expand All

Use the Collapse All and Expand All toggles in the bottom-right controls panel to collapse or expand every node on the canvas at once.

Action	Result
Collapse All	All subtrees hidden, +N badges shown on every parent
Expand All	All subtrees restored to full visibility

Collapsed nodes and other features

Search — collapsed nodes are included in search results. The canvas expands and navigates to a collapsed match automatically.

Filters — filters apply to collapsed nodes even when their subtree is hidden.

Delete — deleting a collapsed node moves it to Trash and reparents its children, same as deleting an expanded node.

State persistence

Collapse state is stored in localStorage per initiative. Closing the browser or navigating away preserves your collapse state on return. State is cleared automatically when a node is deleted.
