Use the left Add catalog, canvas context menu, or bottom Make plus menu to search a shared current roster. The latest catalog adds 20 focused editing nodes across Adjust, Matte, Video, Edit, and Utils, while retired types remain searchable only as migration help.
Where: canvas → left rail → Add — Open the Add tab, or right-click the canvas
Key ideas
- Shared catalog and flat Make menu: Add surfaces use the same names, aliases, typed sockets, and compatibility rules. The bottom Make plus menu presents the catalog flat for quick search and can use the current selection as the starting reference.
- Image Adjust: Rotate & Flip, Crop, Resize, Blur, Depth Blur, Invert, Color Correction, Levels, Channels, Blend, and Color Palette.
- Matte and Video: Mask Extractor, Mask by Text, Matte Grow / Shrink, Merge Alpha, Video Matte, and Video to GIF.
- Edit and review: Depth Map, Compare, and Gen Effect complement the full Image Editor and Video Annotation & Edit surfaces.
- Retirement safety: Video Mask by Text, legacy HTML Section, and HTML Combine/Join do not appear as creatable nodes. Existing saved canvases retain explanatory compatibility cards.
- Three entry surfaces, one roster: The left Add tab, canvas right-click catalog, and connection/noodle suggestions now share catalog definitions, labels, keywords, variants, and complexity ordering.
- Simple before agentic: When several nodes can answer a search/connection, focused deterministic/basic generators rank before agentic workflows unless the request itself asks for agentic planning.
- Current Editor and Web catalog: Designer, Read a Page, Page Template, Save a Page, Find Pages, Publish Site, and Image Upscale are now active shared-catalog entries. HTML Section and HTML Combine remain retired. Website Editor, Video & Motion Editor, and Agentic Video & Motion Gen use their current names.
Steps
- Open the Add tab in the left rail (the + icon in the icon strip).
- Either type in the 'Search everything you can add' box to jump straight to a node, or open a section (Bring in, Image, Video, Audio, Website, Export, ...).
- Click a tile to drop the node in the middle of your view, or drag the tile onto the canvas to place it exactly.
- The node appears already selected; open the right properties sidebar to configure it.
- To add a node into an existing group, select the group first and then click a tile — or drag the tile straight into the group frame.
- Search from any Add surface; use the breadcrumb/category and node label to select the same catalog entry, then click or drag according to that surface.

Selection-aware adding
Select an asset first when you want the Make/Add surface to prioritize compatible operations and wire/import the current media context.
Current generator naming
- Gen Image and Agentic Image Gen.
- Gen Video, Agentic Video Gen, and Agentic Long Video.
- Web Design Gen, Web Motion Gen, and Web Code Gen.
- Shot Design Gen and Shot Motion Gen.
- Gen SVG, Gen Voice, Gen Music / SFX, and Gen Text / Prompt.
Readable sockets and protected cards
Hover reveals card and socket labels; multi-input sockets and array outputs have distinct visual shapes, and zoomed-out cards show their node family. Dropping a node or wire into a group/area uses the container under the pointer. Node/group locks protect delete/cut without disabling editing or execution.
FAQ
Where is the round + button that used to sit at the bottom of the canvas?
It is gone. The node catalog moved into the left rail's Add tab, and the bottom-centre strip is now the Make bar, which builds and runs a whole small flow for you from an action, some references and a brief.
Where is the 'Import from Selection' option?
Right-click the canvas and choose 'Import from Canvas'. It pulls the image, SVG or video element currently selected on the design canvas into the flow as an Image or Video input node.
Why don't I see every node under the sections?
A section is collapsed until you open it, and the last one, More, is where anything unclaimed by a named section lands. The search box surfaces any node by name regardless of section.
