# Dependencies Graph

> Use the Dependency Graph to visualize relationships between elements in your file

## Show Dependencies

To show dependencies, select an item and press **D**. Rive displays arrows connecting the selected item to its parent and child dependencies.

Dependency arrows are color coded based on the type of relationship.

For example, if the rotation of `NEW_sticker` is controlled by the rotation of `Icon` through a constraint, Rive shows that dependency with a yellow arrow.

## Filtering

Use the dependency options to filter which relationships are shown. This is helpful when an element has many connections and you only want to focus on specific dependency types.
