Visual Workflow Builder (Flows) Overview ​

The Flow Editor is a powerful node-based canvas for constructing end-to-end automated image creation pipelines without writing boilerplate server code.


Canvas Interface & Controls ​

Key Interactions ​

  • Add Nodes: Drag or click nodes from the categorized left sidebar (Inputs, AI / Processing, Logic, Outputs).
  • Connect Sockets: Click and drag from an output handle (right side of a node) to a compatible input handle (left side of another node).
  • Disconnect Handles: Click on an edge and press Del or Backspace.
  • Delete Nodes: Select a node and press Del / Backspace or click its delete button.
  • Pan & Zoom: Click and drag on empty canvas to pan; use mouse wheel to zoom in/out.

Execution Modes & History ​

  • Simulation Mode: Run the workflow with mocked data to test connections and flow logic for free (0 credits consumed).
  • Live Execution: Runs real compute and AI inference on the backend, streaming status updates for each node in real-time.
  • Flow History: Undo (Ctrl+Z / Cmd+Z) and Redo (Ctrl+Shift+Z / Cmd+Shift+Z) to revert actions seamlessly.
