Learn how to navigate, add, and manage nodes on the canvas, connect handles, and use the toolbar and sidebar features.

Adding and Managing Nodes

Add a new node:
  • Click Nodes in the left sidebar
Nodes panel open from the left sidebar, with a search field, category filters, and the Add and Image node lists
  • Right-click or double-click anywhere on the canvas
  • Search or browse by category
Node library opened on the canvas with the Search nodes or models field, category filters, and Add and Image sections
  • Click to add the node
Move a node:
  • Click and drag it to the desired location
Remove a node:
  • Select it (Highlighted) and Press Delete or Backspace
Duplicate a node:
  • Select it and Press Ctrl/Cmd + D

Connect and Manage Handles

Connect a Handle:
  • Click and drag from an output slot (right side of a node) and connect to a compatible input slot (left side of another node)
  • Release to connect the handle

Remove a Handle:
  • On hovering the handle, a "x" button appears to remove/delete it
  • Click to select it (Highlighted) and Press Delete or Backspace

Cut Connections with Scissors

The Remove edges tool (scissors icon) lets you sever node connections by dragging across them — useful for quickly cleaning up complex graphs without having to click each handle individually. To use the Scissors tool:
1

Activate the Remove edges tool

Click the scissors icon in the bottom toolbar, or press K. The icon opens a small menu where you can switch between Remove edges and Connection (L).

Draw across connections

Drag across any connections you want to remove. Every connection you cross is severed. Press S to go back to the Select tool when you’re done.

Use Remove edges when reorganizing a large workflow — it’s much faster than deleting handles one by one.

Canvas Navigation

Pan the canvas:
  • Hold Space and drag
  • Scroll with the mouse wheel, drag with the middle mouse button, or use a two-finger drag on a trackpad
With the Select tool, clicking and dragging on empty space draws a selection box instead of panning.
Zoom:
  • Hold Ctrl/Cmd and scroll, or use the pinch gesture on a trackpad
  • Press Ctrl/Cmd + Plus or Ctrl/Cmd + Minus
  • Click the zoom percentage in the bottom-left corner to open the zoom menu: Zoom in, Zoom out, Zoom to fit, Zoom to 50%, Zoom to 100%, and Zoom to 200%
Zoom menu open from the zoom percentage in the bottom-left corner, listing Zoom in, Zoom out, Zoom to fit, and Zoom to 50%, 100%, and 200%
You can zoom from 1% up to 200%. Zooming out to 1% lets you see and move around very large canvases. The dotted grid stays visible at every zoom level, so you always keep your sense of position.

Minimap:
  • Click the map icon next to the undo and redo buttons in the bottom-left corner to show or hide the Minimap

Bottom Toolbar

The group on the right switches between nodes, quick mode, and agent mode. The controls on the left show the Minimap, undo and redo, and the zoom menu.
