Copy and paste give every pasted node and group a new id, and so do duplicate, Alt + drag and dragging a saved workflow onto the canvas. A Workflow Switches card remembers its parts by id, so a whole workflow pasted into a new tab read "empty" on every row and nothing could be switched on; pasted into another workflow it could switch unrelated nodes that had the old numbers. A Callout's links to a node or group broke the same way. The frontend's paste (LGraphCanvas._deserializeItems) returns which new node each old id became. js/shared/paste_ids.mjs hands that on after every paste, and a pasted card or note points at the copies of what it names. An id the paste did not copy is kept, so a card pasted on its own still switches the original parts.

Callout
A note for the canvas. Type a line or two and the text grows to fill the note, so people can read it without zooming in. Type an arrow emoji such as ⬆️ to point at the part you are talking about.
Use it to explain a step in a workflow you share. It never runs and has no wires.
Writing
- Double-click the note, or press Edit, to type. Click outside the box to keep the text. Esc drops what you typed.
- A blank line starts a new point. Each point gets a thin teal line beside it.
- Put two stars around a word to stress it:
**Resize is on.** - For the details, make a line small print: put the caret on it and press Small under the text box. It is drawn small under the line above, so the first line stays big enough to read from far out. Press Small again to make it normal.
- A line that starts with
##is read the same as one that doesn't, so notes written for the core Markdown Note paste in as they are. - Drag the corner to change the size. The text grows or shrinks to fit.
Arrows
Type an arrow and it turns into a teal arrow, in the middle of your line.
- Use an arrow emoji: ⬆️ ⬇️ ⬅️ ➡️ ↗️ ↘️ ↙️ ↖️. The pointing hands 👆 👇 👈 👉
and the plain arrows ← ↑ → ↓ work too, and so do
->and<-. - Or press an arrow in the row under the text box while you edit.
- Put the note next to the part it explains and point the arrow at it.
Link an arrow to a node
While you edit, click a node on the canvas, then press an arrow. The arrow is linked to that node. Click a linked arrow later and the canvas brings the node into view, the same way the frame button in Workflow Switches does. Hover the arrow to see which node it goes to.
In the text a linked arrow is written like ➡️#12, where 12 is the node's
number. You can leave the #12 out to get a plain arrow. If the node is
deleted the arrow stays, faded, and does nothing.
Links
A note can link to a page on the web, or to a part of the workflow.
- To a page: select the words, press Link under the text box, and paste the address. Or select the words and paste the address straight over them. Click the words later and the page opens in a new tab. A small ↗ after the words shows that they leave ComfyUI, and hovering shows where they go.
- To a node or a group: while you edit, click the node or the group on the canvas, select the words and press Link. Click the words later and the canvas brings it into view. An arrow can point at a group too: click the group, then press an arrow.
- A note that is nothing but one link is a big button for it: its words fill the note.
In the text a link is written [the words](https://example.com), or
[the words](#12) for node 12 and [the words](#g3) for group 3.
Technical details
- The text is stored in the node's one hidden
textinput, so saving, undo and copy work like any other node. Nothing else is saved with it. - A note copied together with the nodes and groups its links name links to the copies. A link to anything left behind keeps its number.
- In the text, small print is a line that starts with six
#and a space:###### Off, your words go in as typed.Small print is 62% of the note's text size and never under 11 px. - Notes written before small print look the same. An older version of the
pack drops those six
#like any other heading mark, so a note with small print still reads right there, with every line at one size. - The text size is the largest whole pixel size, from 12 to 30, that fits the note. A very long text at the smallest size is cut off at the bottom: make the note taller.
- Only
httpandhttpsaddresses become links. Anything else in the round brackets leaves the text as typed. A link opens in a new tab and is never opened by the note itself: only your click does. - A link from someone else's workflow goes where its author pointed it. Hover it to read the address before you click.
- An older version of the pack shows a link as typed, brackets and address included, so the address can still be read and copied there.
- The font is IBM Plex Sans when the computer has it, otherwise the system font. The node loads no fonts and makes no network requests.
