Use the canvas toolbar to hide or reveal connections, control snapping and completion sound, open Add/Discover/Library and canvas tools, and monitor the project save state.
Where: Flowgen → project canvas → top canvas toolbar and left rail.
Key ideas
- Card mode hides the connection graph: The Card mode checkbox switches to a compact canvas view that hides noodles/connections; turn it off to return to the graph and inspect wires.
- Canvas tools are separate from node actions: Add, Discover, Library, Outline, Activity, Annotate, and Open assistant are canvas-level tools. Select a node to reveal node-specific run, editor, settings, lock, and delete controls.
- A hidden card remains in the flow: Each node also has a Show on canvas checkbox for the compact card presentation. Hiding the card is not the same as removing its node or edges.
Steps
- Use Card mode when you want to focus on node cards without the noodles; switch it off to see and edit graph connections.
- Enable Snap alignment to align cards as you move them; disable it when positioning needs to be freeform.
- Enable Completion sound if you want a sound when generation finishes.
- Open Add to place nodes, Discover to find reusable flows, and Library for saved canvas assets and related material.
- Use Outline to navigate the canvas structure, Activity to inspect recent activity, Annotate for canvas notes/markup, and Open assistant for the in-product Flowgen agent.
- Select a node for its actions. Use Show on canvas to hide/show its card in Card mode without deleting its graph role.
- Use the canvas switcher for another canvas and its menu/context options for import/export when available.
- Check the project save indicator after substantial edits; resolve any local-draft/save warning before relying on a reload or handoff.
The card and graph views
- Card mode is a display mode, not a second project or a separate graph.
- In node-graph mode, named input fields and output sockets make the source and destination of each noodle visible.
- In card mode, per-node Show on canvas controls which compact cards appear. Hidden nodes remain in the graph and can still be inspected through Outline or graph view.
Canvas-level versus node-level controls
- Canvas level: Card mode, Snap alignment, Completion sound, Add, Discover, Library, Outline, Activity, Annotate, Assistant.
- Node level: run this node/group, quick connect, open the node editor, advanced/deep settings, lock, duplicate, and delete as supported by the selected node.
Tips
- Use Outline or search when a hidden/offscreen node is difficult to locate.
- Use the graph view to verify the exact field receiving a source before running the node.
Troubleshooting
The canvas shows cards but no noodles.
Turn off Card mode; the control’s help text says it switches to card mode and hides connections.
One node is missing only in Card mode.
Select it in graph view and turn on its Show on canvas checkbox.
FAQ
Does card mode disconnect my nodes?
No — card mode only changes how the canvas is drawn. Every connection stays exactly where it was, and switching back to the graph shows them all again.
Does Export include my generated media?
Export saves the graph structure and node data (with live callbacks stripped) referencing the media URLs; it is a canvas definition, not a media bundle.
