# PlayableGraph Visualizer

> This topic demonstrates how to download and install the PlayableGraph Visualizer package.

The PlayableGraph Visualizer displays a graph of your PlayableGraph at runtime. Unity must be in Play mode to use the Playable Visualizer to display PlayableGraphs. When in Edit mode, the Playable Visualizer displays graphs for Mecanim features and packages that use Playables such as Animator Controllers and the Unity Timeline package.

> **Note:**
>
> The PlayableGraph Visualizer is a discontinued experimental package that might not work with your version of Unity.
