# Relationship graph
In Cortex, use the relationship graph to better understand:
* **Dependencies**
* Visualize how entities relate to one another
* You can also [sync dependencies](https://docs.cortex.io/ingesting-data-into-cortex/adding-entities/dependencies#sync-dependencies) from the Relationship Graph.
* **Domains**
* See a hierarchical diagram of your software architecture
* **Teams**
* View your company's team structure
## View the relationship graph
You can access the relationship graph from the main nav: Navigate to **Tools > Relationship graphs**. By default, the page displays all entities with dependencies and how they relate to one another.
## Filter the relationship graph
{% hint style="info" %}
If you have more than 500 nodes in the graph, you must select a filter before the graph will display.
{% endhint %}
### Select a relationship type
At the top of the page, choose which relationships you want to view: Dependencies, domains, or teams.
Select dependencies, domains, or teams.
### Filter the graph
You can apply filters to narrow the scope of the graph:
1. Click **Filters** at the top of the page.
2. Apply filters for the following options:
* Sources
* Groups
* Entity types
* Degrees from selected node
The page will automatically apply your selected filters and reload the visualization.
### Select a display option
At the top of the graph, click **Display options** to select:
* A Scorecard to filter the graph by
* Whether to hide team nodes without children
* Whether to hide archived entities
### View more details on an entity
In the graph, click an entity to open a modal with the ability to:
* Filter by this node
* Go directly to its entity details page
* View a list of its child entities or dependencies
Click a node to open a modal with more information.
## Adjust appearance settings
You must have the `Configure settings` permission.
Under [**Settings > Relationship graph**](https://app.getcortexapp.com/admin/settings/appearance/relationship-graph), you can select whether to display dependencies, domains, or teams by default when you first open the relationship graph.
