Find your way around the canvas in Workflows
The canvas is where you build and run workflows. This guide covers the toolbar, moving around, adding and connecting nodes, and keeping your work organized.
Canvas layout
- Top left: the back arrow returns you to the Workflows page. Next to it is the workflow's name.
- Top right: Run All runs every node and shows the total credits for the run. The arrow next to it opens Single Run and Batch Run.
- Left toolbar: tools for adding nodes and moving around.
- Bottom right: Zoom In, Zoom Out and Fit View.
The toolbar
The toolbar on the left side of the canvas has these tools:
Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
+ Add node | Opens the node menu. Search for a node, or pick one under Input or Generate & Edit. |
Select | Selects and moves nodes. |
Pan canvas | Moves around the canvas when you drag. |
Add from Library | Brings images from your Caimera Library onto the canvas. |
Automation | Coming soon. |
Zoom and move around
- Use Zoom In, Zoom Out and Fit View in the bottom right. Fit View brings every node into view.
- Scroll to move around the canvas.
Add nodes
There are three ways to add a node:
- Click + in the toolbar.
- Right-click an empty part of the canvas.
- Click the + icon on the right edge of a node (Add connected node) to add the next step already connected.
Connect and disconnect nodes
Nodes connect left to right. A node's inputs are on its left edge and its result leaves from the right. Drag from one node's right edge to the next node's input.
Some nodes take several inputs. Edit Image, for example, has Image, Prompt and Reference inputs.
To disconnect two nodes, click the × icon on the line between them.
Node options
Click ⋯ at the top right of any node to Rename, Duplicate or Delete it. On an Image node, the same menu also has Convert to Batch node, which turns it into a Batch Input and keeps its connections.
Leave notes for your team
Add a Note from the node menu to explain a step or leave instructions. Notes are for your team and aren't part of the run.
Long prompts
Click the expand icon in the corner of a prompt box to open a larger editor.
Shortcuts
Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
Run the selected node (Single Run) | ⌘ + Enter [CONFIRM: Ctrl + Enter on Windows] |
Saving your work
Workflows save automatically as you edit.
