### Create Subgraph

The node needs to be in the live state for you to add a subgraph to it.
{% endhint %}

**Step 1: Graph Nodes** - Navigate to the [Graph Nodes](https://app.traceye.io/subgraph/graph-node) page on the platform. Here you will see a list of nodes that you purchased and the ones that are already deployed. Now, click on the **Add Subgraph** button.

**Step 3: Enter Details -** Provide a name, and choose the node and the network for your subgraph. Now, click on the **Add** button to create a new subgraph.\
NOTE: If only one node is live then it will be pre-selected. Also, if a single network is present in the node then it will also be pre-selected.
