You can learn more information about the selected object or relationship from the details pane. The relationship graph shows the relationships for an object and provides context for you to investigate. You can click any node in the graph to see more details. Note: The STIX Visualizer is available for all SDOs except the Report and Observed Data objects. ## Access STIX Visualizer {#stix-visualizer__section_pnw_1ry_xmb} Click Show Relationships in the Related Links section for any of the SDOs to view the STIX Visualizer. ## View details in STIX Visualizer {#stix-visualizer__section_blg_sry_xmb} In the Visualizer, you can view the object and its relationship which provides context for you to further investigate. The Visualizer uses colors and icons to illustrate various information about the objects. You can zoom in to an object, drag the nodes, or pin them to focus on a particular relationship. Click any object to open the details pane. On the details pane, you can learn more information that is associated with the object. **Related concepts** * [Attack modes and methods](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/~rTBCjiojwrIpGnLMomOQw "Attack modes and methods, sometimes referred to as Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs), are representations of how cyber adversaries behave.
