Abstract
A remote network management platform manages a managed network. The managed network may contain computing devices for executing applications. The remote network management platform may also include a database storing a graph that represents the computing devices, the applications, and relationships therebetween. A computing device may be configured to generate and provide a graphical user interface that includes: (i) a panel containing an active copy of the graph read from the database, (ii) a first selectable control that creates an editable, private copy of the graph and replaces the active copy of the graph in the panel with the editable, private copy of the graph, and (iii) a second selectable control that updates the active copy of the graph with the editable, private copy of the graph, saves the active copy of the graph as updated to the database, and displays the active copy of the graph as updated.
