Add a node
The + button at the top (N) opens the node menu with a search field and two sections. Generate lists every node type you can drop onto the board:
Libraries sits below it with two entries: Upload (⇧ U) brings your own files onto the canvas — images, video, audio, text, PDFs, SVGs, and 3D formats like GLB, FBX, OBJ, STL, and USDZ — and Asset Library (⇧ L) opens your workspace assets so you can place an existing one. See Nodes for what each type does.
All nodes
The second button opens a list of every node in the current project — useful for finding a specific node on a large board.Pointer tools
- Select (V) — the default pointer. Click, drag, and marquee-select nodes.
- Pan (H) — turns dragging into panning, anywhere on the board.
- Cut connection (K) — slice across a wire to disconnect two nodes.
- Sticky note (⇧ M) — drop a note to annotate the canvas for yourself or collaborators.
- Group (⌘ G) — with two or more loose nodes selected, wraps them in a frame immediately. With nothing groupable selected, it arms Drag to group: draw a box and the nodes inside become a frame on release. To ungroup, select the frame and press ⌘ ⇧ G or use Ungroup in the selection action bar.
Pan, Cut, and Sticky note release back to Select when you press Esc or tap V. Drag to group disarms when you complete a drag or click Group again.
History and layout
- Undo (⌘ Z) and Redo (⌘ Y) — step through canvas history. Both buttons dim when there’s nothing to step to.
- Auto layout (⇧ O) — tidies the whole board, arranging connected flows and loose nodes with an animated transition. More in Navigation & Selection.
