# Linear Mode

> A streamlined interface mode that strips away node complexity for users who prefer simplicity.

<Note>
  Linear Mode is currently in early beta. Features and behavior may change in future updates.
</Note>

Linear Mode is an interaction mode designed for users who prefer simplicity. It strips away node complexity to deliver a streamlined interface, allowing you to focus purely on creation.

## Enabling Linear Mode

To enable Linear Mode:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Settings">
    Go to **Settings** by clicking the gear icon
  </Step>

  <Step title="Navigate to Keybinding">
    Select **Keybinding** from the settings menu
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set a custom shortcut">
    Set a custom shortcut to toggle between traditional node mode and Linear Mode
  </Step>
</Steps>

Once configured, use your custom shortcut to switch between modes at any time.

## Best practices

Linear Mode exposes all node components in your workflow. For a cleaner experience:

* **Use subgraphs to simplify nodes**: Group related nodes into [subgraphs](/interface/features/subgraph) to reduce clutter
* **Organize before switching**: Clean up your workflow in node mode before switching to Linear Mode
* **Keep workflows modular**: Breaking complex workflows into subgraphs helps maintain focus on creative tasks
