My Canvas
The canvas is your primary workspace. Once you understand this page, building and maintaining complex workflows becomes much easier.
Interface overview
- Top bar
- back to “My Workflows”
- current workflow name (editable in private mode)
- save status (
Saving/Saved) - public/private, clone, credits, profile entry
- Left toolbar
- add nodes
- asset panel
- workflow settings (default modality/capability/tier/parameters)
- Center canvas
- place nodes, draw edges, select, group
- 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.
