# Expand Instance Nodes

The Expand Instance Nodes function can be activated from the View Menu. This function expands all instance nodes so that the interface nodes of the network instance that the node represents become visible. An instance node must be expanded to create binding links to the input nodes of the instance node and to create ordinary (causal) links from its output nodes. Instance nodes can also be expanded individually.

Please note that links to and from an instance node can only be selected when the node is expanded.
