    "# How to define input/output schema for your graph\n",
    "\n",
    "By default, `StateGraph` takes in a single schema and all nodes are expected to communicate with that schema. However, it is also possible to define explicit input and output schemas for a graph. This is helpful if you want to draw a distinction between input and output keys.\n",
    "\n",
    "In this notebook we'll walk through an example of this. At a high level, in order to do this you simply have to pass in `input=..., output=...` when defining the graph. Let's see an example below!"
