Blueprint Graph Exporter

Blueprint Graph Exporter

Module: Tech · Category: QA · Tool ID: BlueprintGraphExporter

Three-tab Blueprint graph exporter. Single Export exports one Blueprint to JSON or Markdown. Batch Export scans and exports all Blueprints in a folder. Graph Viewer inspects graph structure with color-coded node categories. Useful for documentation, code review, archival, and Git-friendly Blueprint diffs.

---

When to use it

• Generating Blueprint documentation for a wiki or design doc
• Code review of Blueprint changes (Git can’t diff .uasset meaningfully; Markdown export is human-readable)
• Archival — preserving Blueprint logic outside UE
• Quick graph inspection without opening the BP editor

When not to use it

• Don’t expect this to round-trip — export-only; no import-from-JSON
• Don’t expect graph rendering — text/structural export only

Opening the tool

1. Open the EQLabs Hub and search for Blueprint Export (or browse to Tech → QA)
2. Click the tool card
3. Use the tab bar: Single Export / Batch Export / Graph Viewer

Batch Scan Path	Folder to scan	/Game
Format combo	JSON / Markdown
Scan Blueprints	Walks the folder
Export All	Exports every BP in the list
Export Selection	Exports only checked rows
Batch list	Per-BP row: name, graph count, node count, exported flag

Tab 3 — Graph Viewer

Field	What it does
Blueprint picker	The BP to inspect
Graph combo	Pick a graph within the BP
Nodes list	Per-node: title, class, category (Event / Function / FlowControl / Variable), pin count
Copy Node Summary	Plain-text dump

Color-coded node categories make graph structure easy to read at a glance.

Workflow

Document a single BP

1. Switch to Single Export
2. Drop the BP, pick Markdown format
3. Set Output Path, click Export Graph
4. The Markdown file is human-readable for wikis / pull-request descriptions

Batch document a folder

1. Switch to Batch Export
2. Set Scan Path, click Scan Blueprints
3. Click Export All for the whole folder, or select rows + Export Selection

Quick inspection

1. Switch to Graph Viewer
2. Drop a BP, pick a graph
3. Read node list with color-coded categories

Output

• JSON files — structured representation of the graph
• Markdown files — human-readable summary
• In-panel graph viewer — read-only inspection
• No BP edits — export-only

Tips & gotchas

• Markdown is best for code review — human-readable, Git-friendly, can be embedded in PR descriptions
• JSON is best for tooling — feed into custom dashboards or analysis tools
• Variable values capture is optional — if your BP has sensitive defaults, leave it off
