 To ease the set-up of scenes, it will automatically use the last nodeMeister graph when a nodeMeister node is added for the first time.
+As of version 2018.2, a backup of the global graph is also stored within the nodeMeister node.
+When loading, if there is no global graph that matches this backup, a global graph will be created from the backup.

 Also, depending on the outputs of the graph, new user interface controls will be added to the node panel.
+The list of available nodeMeister graphs only displays the ones that can work in the current [[nodemeister2018:contexts|context]].
 <WRAP important> You will need to close/re-open the panel (if the right side of the node editor is collapsed) or select a different node and switch back to make the new controls visible.</WRAP>

 ===== Use Global Graph =====
 This is the default mode for the node and allows you to use a global graph which is shared amongst nodes.
 Turning this off allows you to use a node graph that is local to the node – this effectively makes the node work like a native compound node, but with the added capability of displaying controls in the user interface.
+===== Copy Global -> Local Graph / Copy Local -> Global Graph =====
+Depending on the state of the Use Global Graph setting, this allows you to either copy the currently selected global graph to the local graph or vice versa.
+Copying also switches the state of the Use Global Graph setting so you can use the copied graph immediately.
+===== Open nodeMeister Master… =====
+This opens the nodeMeister Master plugin, allowing for higher level nodeMeister graph management.
 ===== Switch to nodeMeister Graph... =====

 This switches the node editor to the nodeMeister graph used by the node. You can use the **Open Previous Node Graph...** buttons on the Input or Output nodes to return.
 You can also right click on the node in the node editor to switch to the selected [[node_graph]] via the node menu.
+===== Current Context: =====
+This displays the context(s) available in the node graph hosting the plugin. This can be used to determine which contexts a global nodeMeister graph needs to be able to access context specific nodes.
+Detailed information about contexts is available here: [[nodemeister2018:contexts|]]

+====== The node menu ======

+Right clicking on the nodeMeister node in the graph opens a context menu.
+In the Node Menu section there’s the option to switch to the nodeMeister graph used by the node, add a new (global) nodeMeister graph or open the nodeMeister Master plugin.
