Auto-arrange

The Clean Up button (magic wand icon, bottom toolbar) automatically arranges all nodes in a top-to-bottom layered layout. Nodes are spaced 250 px vertically and 480 px horizontally. After arranging, the canvas fits to the full layout.

Use this after building a complex workflow to keep things readable.

Selecting nodes and edges

  • Click a node to open its Property Sheet
  • Click an edge (connection line) to select it — it highlights in purple and a delete icon appears at its midpoint
  • Press Delete or Backspace to remove a selected edge

Moving nodes

Click and drag any node to reposition it. The canvas scrolls when you drag near the edges.

Execution status overlay

When a workflow is running, node borders change colour in real time to reflect execution state:

Nodes waiting for approval also show Approve and Reject buttons directly on the card.
