Node List Navigation

Use the node list to search, filter, rename, and locate nodes in large multi-step canvases.

As a canvas grows, visual scanning becomes slower than structured navigation. The node list gives you a searchable sidebar view of every node so you can manage large flows without zooming around the canvas.

Filter by media type, search by title, rename inline, and use locate to jump back to a node on the canvas.

Search and Filter Faster

The list supports quick filtering by node type and by title. This is useful when a canvas contains:

  • Multiple image references
  • Several text instruction nodes
  • Separate audio or video branches
  • Nested groups with many children

Instead of panning to find a node, filter the list and jump straight to it.

Rename Nodes Inline

Naming matters more once a project grows. The node list lets you rename nodes directly from the sidebar, which is much faster than opening each node one by one.

Good titles make downstream workflows easier:

  • Storyboard nodes become easier to review
  • Prompt references are easier to reuse
  • Team members can understand the canvas without guessing

Group-Aware Navigation

Group nodes preserve structure inside the list, so you can collapse or expand sections and keep a large project readable. This is especially helpful for campaign canvases that combine references, scripts, video passes, and final exports.

Locate Back on Canvas

Use the locate action when you find the right item in the sidebar and want to jump back to the exact node on the main canvas. The node list becomes your control tower, while the canvas stays your editing surface.

If you regularly work with more than a handful of nodes, this is one of the highest-leverage navigation tools in the product.
