My Canvas

The canvas is your primary workspace. Once you understand this page, building and maintaining complex workflows becomes much easier.

Interface overview

  1. Top bar
    • back to “My Workflows”
    • current workflow name (editable in private mode)
    • save status (Saving / Saved)
    • public/private, clone, credits, profile entry
  2. Left toolbar
    • add nodes
    • asset panel
    • workflow settings (default modality/capability/tier/parameters)
  3. Center canvas
    • place nodes, draw edges, select, group
  4. Help button (bottom-right)
    • product tips and shortcut reference

Basic interactions

  • Zoom: wheel / trackpad gesture
  • Pan: middle mouse drag, or hold Space + left drag
  • Box select: left drag on empty area
  • Fit/focus view: use the viewport controls at top-right

Nodes and connections

  • Drag from an output handle to an input handle to connect.
  • StoryFlow validates data type compatibility.
  • Once connected, data flows by dependency order.

Quick Create next step

Hover on an output handle to open quick-create suggestions (for example, image-to-video or video analysis).

Great when:

  • you already have an intermediate output and want to continue quickly
  • you want to avoid repetitive “add node + wire node” actions

LOD performance behavior

When workflows grow large, StoryFlow adjusts visual detail automatically:

  • Zoomed out: simplified node rendering for smooth navigation.
  • Zoomed in: full node content and controls return.

This is expected behavior, not a rendering bug.

Frequently used shortcuts

Some nodes show an Info icon in the header. It includes:

  • media metadata and URLs

When reporting issues, include these fields for faster triage.
