Editor modules (in your case GraphEditor module) are not avable in release build so you will get errors like that when you try to use editor APIs and package it. Either sperate editor code to new module and mark it as editor module in *.uproject or *.uplugin or filter editor code with #if WITH_EDITOR … #endif

Sorry but i dont totally understand.
i need to use the module only with editor and not in release ?

Yes, you can’t use editor API in packaged game, there way to included it and makei t owrk oonly in editor and i mentioned them above, either make editor module or filter it with WITH_EDITOR
