In Maltego Graph (Browser), users can create new graphs in several ways depending on their workflow. Typically, users initiate a new graph after completing a search or navigating from other components like Maltego Cases.
A new graph can be created in two ways.
Using Maltego Cases on the Side Bar
- Expand the Maltego Cases drawer by clicking on the icon.
- Click New Graph.
- Alternatively, click the three dots next to a case folder and select New Graph.

From the Top Bar
- Within an active graph, click the plus icon next to the graph name in the Top Bar.

Directly from Maltego Cases
- Go to app.maltego.com/cases
- Create a new graph from Maltego Cases within an encrypted case.

Directly from Maltego app
- Go to app.maltego.com
- Create a new graph by clicking on the plus icon in the Graph widget

Configuring a New Graph
When creating a graph, users can configure the following settings:
- Encryption:
- Choose whether the graph should be end-to-end encrypted.
- Based on this choice, the case dropdown will display either encrypted or unencrypted cases.
- Please note that in order to encrypt a new graph, you need to create an encrypted case first.
- Naming the Graph:
- Provide a unique name for the graph.
- Opening Location:
- Choose whether to open the graph in the current window or a new tab.
- If a user selects an option that deviates from the default, the preference is saved for future graphs.
Default Behavior: Graphs open in a new tab.
