Canvas basics

The palette sits on the left: every node, in collapsible groups such as Input, Generative, Tools and Automation, each group with a colour dot. A search box at the top finds a node by name. The canvas fills the rest, with a small toolbar for the tools, a control for zoom, fit and wire style, and a minimap. The bar at the top holds the project name, the run controls and the save state.

1. 1

   Add a node

   Press a tile in the palette, or drag it onto the canvas where you want it. Search when you know the name.
2. 2

   Wire two nodes

   Drag from an output port on the right of one node to an input port on the left of another. A port only accepts a wire it can use; the others do not light up.
3. 3

   Move and arrange

   Drag a node by its header. Box Select or drag on the empty canvas to select several, then move them together.
4. 4

   Run and look

   Press Run on a generator and watch the result land in the preview wired to it.

A port is painted by where its data comes from, never by a fixed table. An output port carries its own node's group colour. An unwired input is neutral. A wired input, and the wire itself, take the colour of whatever feeds them, so a prompt port fed by a Describer turns the Tools yellow and one fed by a Text Input stays the Input colour. The colour tells you where a value came from without tracing the wire.

What can connect

Ports have kinds: text, image, video, document, attachments, trigger and collection. A wire is allowed when the kinds fit, and the editor refuses the rest before you drop.

One wire or many

Most inputs hold one wire; dropping a new one replaces it. Attachment ports take several, and Image Bulk's One by one is the amber collection wire that only a Batch Run accepts.

Cutting wires

Press C for the Wire Cutter and drag across the wires to remove, or select a wire and press Delete.

Connect to…

With nodes selected, the selection bar offers Connect to, which suggests the nodes that can take the selection's output.

On Windows, Ctrl stands in for ⌘. The markup tools, notes, text, shapes, lines and arrows, draw on the canvas without touching the workflow; use them to explain a board to whoever opens it next.

Every durable edit is one undo step: adding, moving, wiring, deleting, changing a setting, replacing a picture. A drag is one step, not a hundred. What Undo never touches is the machine finishing work you already committed to: a generation landing or an upload completing changes the document but does not enter the history, because undoing a paid result would not give the credits back.

The canvas saves itself after every durable edit. The top bar shows Saving while a write is in flight, and Not saved if one failed, until the next succeeds. Signed out, it reads Sign in to save: you can try the editor, but nothing is kept. The camera position is remembered per device, so a project opens where you left it.
