Collapse Instance Nodes
=======================

The *Collapse Instance Nodes* function can be activated from the :ref:`View Menu<view_menu>`.  This function collapses all :ref:`instance nodes<instance_node>` so that the display of the network becomes less cluttered.  Instance nodes can also be :ref:`collapsed individually<collapse_instance_node>`.

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

See also :ref:`Expand Instance Node<expand_instance_node>`.
