# Create and assign a graph to an existing GameObject
You can use the empty graph creation flow to create a new graph file and assign it to an existing GameObject in your project.

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 graph and assign it to an existing GameObject:
1. In the Editor's Hierarchy window, select the GameObject where you want to assign your new graph. If the Hierarchy window isn't visible, go to **Window** > **General** > **Hierarchy**, or press CTRL + 4 (macOS: Cmd + 4).
2. Go to **Window** > **Visual Scripting** > **Visual Scripting Graph**.
3. In the new Visual Scripting window, select one of the following options:
* To create a new Script Graph, open the **Create new Script Graph** dropdown and select **on selected game object**.
* To create a new State Graph, open the **Create new State Graph** dropdown and select **on selected game object**.
4. 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).
