> [!NOTE]
> To use the graph file, you must [attach it to a Script Machine or State Machine](vs-attach-graph-machine.md).

For more information on other ways to create a graph file, see [Creating a new graph file](vs-create-graph.md).

To create a new unassigned graph: 

1. Go to **Window** > **Visual Scripting** > **Visual Scripting Graph**. 

2. In the new Visual Scripting window, select one of the following options: 

    * To create a new Script Graph, select **Create new Script Graph**. 
    * To create a new State Graph, select **Create new State Graph**. 

3. Choose a location to save your new graph file, enter a name for the graph, and select **Save**.

    Your new graph file automatically opens in a new window. 

The new graph file should look similar to the following image:

## Next steps 

After you create your new Script Graph, attach it to a Script Machine to use it in your application. For more information, see [Attaching a graph file to a Script Machine or State Machine](vs-attach-graph-machine.md).
