Explore

The whole network as pictures and as a graph, filtered to the place you are viewing in.

Where this lives: Home > Explore

What this is

Explore is discovery. It shows the same world as the Map, in two other shapes.

One shape is a gallery of everything with a picture. The other is a graph of how people, groups and the things they make connect.

What you see

The wide middle column holds two panels.

Gallery shows everything with a picture in the place you are viewing in, newest first.

Relationship graph draws people, groups and the things they have made as a network you can narrow with a sentence.

The narrow right column holds Search everything, which takes you to the full search across people, places, groups and posts.

The page header carries Add widget and Reset layout, and each panel carries its own menu, so you can put either panel away or change how wide it is.

What you can do here

• Look through everything with a picture. See Browse the gallery.
• Narrow the graph to a question. See Narrow the graph with a sentence.
• Move to full search. See Search from Explore.

How to

Browse the gallery

1. Open Explore under Home.
2. Find the Gallery panel.
3. Scroll inside the panel. More pictures load as you reach the bottom.
4. Press a tile to open the thing it shows.

Narrow the graph with a sentence

1. Find the Relationship graph panel.
2. Build a sentence from the dropdowns above the graph. It reads as who did what to what.
3. Press Apply. The graph redraws to only the matching connections.
4. Press Clear to start again.

Search from Explore

1. Find the Search everything panel in the right column.
2. Press it.
3. Type what you are looking for.
4. Read the results, grouped as Posts, Events, Groups, People and Listings.

What changes for you

Anyone can open Explore, signed in or not.

Choosing a place in the pill at the top narrows the gallery to that place. All Locales widens it to everything.

The sentence builder on the graph is the same one used for Flow Planning. Here it filters what is drawn. There it saves a rule.

Where this connects

• Map is the same world by location.
• Finding things covers search, the map, notifications and saved together.
• Flow Planning uses the same sentence builder to save an agreement.
