Multiple graphNav or elementDetail

• One GraphNavigation setup can have multiple graphNav or elementDetail configs showing
• Each has it's own settings so can present the navigation or detail for different uses

Interaction with sitePageConfig

• sitePage can set a starting node, or have a popup to input the starting node
• Need some way to wrap in conversations presentation that shows most recent, most commented (within timerange) etc
• Maybe that could be a popup settin for the GraphNavigation, or an element that pops up and allows for a search that returns a range of nodes (might not be related) that match the search
• GraphNavigation could be set to default to showing that popup for initial seeding of graph data
