# Saving, Exporting, and Managing Graphs in Threat Graph

## Overview

The Threat Graph feature in ThreatConnect® provides a graph-based interface that you can use to discover, visualize, and contextualize associations and relationships between [Indicators](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/the-threatconnect-data-model#indicators), [Groups](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/the-threatconnect-data-model#groups), [Cases](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/workflow-cases), and [Tags](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/applying-tags). As you investigate a threat in Threat Graph, you may want to share the graph you created with team members and stakeholders to foster greater understanding of the threat. Threat Graph provides options for saving a graph, exporting a graph, renaming a saved graph, and deleting a saved graph, offering you with convenient ways to distribute and manage a graph.

Depending on whether you are working with a saved or unsaved graph, the options available when saving the graph will differ.

NoteIf you try to refresh, navigate away from, or close the browser tab displaying an unsaved graph or a saved graph with unsaved changes, you will be prompted to confirm the intended action, as doing so will result in the loss of any unsaved changes.

2. On the **Save this graph**window, enter a unique name for the graph. The name can contain only letters, numbers, spaces, dashes, and underscores.
3. Click **Save**on the **Save this graph**window.
