The Router node (⇧ R) is an n↔n broadcast bus: wire multiple sources into it, and it fans everything out to multiple targets. Every content node type can connect to and from a Router. It’s the one node designed to sit in the middle of a busy graph.

​
Transparent to generation

A Router doesn’t hold or transform content itself. A node downstream of a Router resolves the Router’s real upstream sources exactly as if they were wired to it directly. The Router is invisible to the generation itself, it only manages the wiring.

​
Use it to

  • Compare variants: fan one prompt or reference out to several Image or Video nodes with different settings, and judge the results side by side.
  • Share references: feed the same set of references into many targets without drawing every edge by hand.
  • Keep wiring stable: the fan-out survives swapping or deleting a source, so a busy graph doesn’t collapse mid-iteration.
  • Bundle a messy fan-out into one hub, instead of a dozen crossing edges, route them all through one Router node.

​
Connect it

A Router accepts every content node type as an input, and outputs to every content node type plus Cloud Export, but it never carries Cloud Export as an input, since that’s a terminal node with no output of its own. Some nodes only accept a Router as an input: Sketch is the notable example, since it has no toolbar button and instead usually arrives via the AI assistant or by connecting from a Router’s output.
