Save Node Positions in Graph View (Edit and Preview Toggle)

Wondering if the request could be split up into two steps:

  1. Keep layout the same when there are no changes to nodes/edges
  2. Allow users to rearrange layout + save changes to layout.

I feel step 1 could be implemented relatively easily by using a seed for the layout of the graph. Would this already provide value for users who would like 2 as well?

PS. Linking to this thread which contains similar topics but has less activity.

PPS. I’m not sure how saving node positions would work. As new nodes/edges are created, the layout would have to change eventually, no? So perhaps fixing the position of just a few nodes (relative to the screen) could be a solution.
