# All Graphs Page

- The All Graphs page lists every graph you have. It's Roam's home screen, and where new graphs get created.
- You land on it when you sign in at [roamresearch.com](https://roamresearch.com).
- From inside a graph, the graph switcher at the top of the [[Left Sidebar]] takes you between graphs and back to the full list.

### Hosted and local graphs

- A [[Hosted Graph]] is synchronized with Roam's servers and accessible from anywhere.
- A [[Local Graph]] lives in that browser's storage, on that computer only.
- Back up local graphs regularly using export: clearing your browser's data deletes them.

### Creating a graph

- Click **+ Create Graph**, then pick **Create Hosted Graph** or **Create Local Graph**.
- Choose the name carefully. It must be unique, and it becomes the graph's permanent URL (hosted) or storage name (local).
- Tick **Encrypted** to create an [encrypted graph]([[Encrypted Graphs]]). This is decided at creation; an existing graph can't be encrypted later.
- If you lose an encrypted graph's password, your data cannot be recovered, because Roam never has the key.
- Creating a hosted graph needs an internet connection.

### The account menu

- Click your name in the top right to open the account menu.
- **Billing**: manage your subscription and payment details.
- **Check for Updates**: get the newest version of Roam right away. See [[Updating Roam]].
- **Theme**: Light, Dark, or Auto (System). This only changes Roam outside your graphs; inside a graph, appearance is customized with Roam Depot extensions or [[roam/css]].
- **Sign Out**: signs you out of Roam on this device.

### Good to know

- The search box filters your list, handy once the graphs pile up.
- The **Download Desktop App** button in the top right gets you the standalone app. See [[Install Roam]] for more options.
