+===== Global vs. Local Node Graphs =====
+nodeMeister allows you to use two different types of node graphs, global and local ones.
+Global Node Graphs may be shared by different nodeMeister nodes and are saved in the scene file.
+Local Node Graphs are only used by the nodeMeister node they belong to and are saved with the node only.
+==== Caveats when using Global Node Graphs ====
+Due to their shared nature, there are a few things to keep in mind when using Global Node Graphs in nodeMeister.
+  * If you load a [[nodemeister2018:node_plugin|]] using a Global Node Graph into a scene that contains that Global Node Graph already, only the node settings will be loaded. The existing, Global Node Graph will not change.
+  * If you load a [[nodemeister2018:node_plugin|]] using a Global Node Graph into a scene that **does not** contain that Global Node Graph already, the node will create the Global Node Graph from a backup stored in the node.
+  * If you wish to replace the Global Node Graph, you need to save/load it in the [[nodemeister2018:master_plugin|]].
