Live edits keep each person's graph/App view, cursors are off in the App view, and .app.json workflows show as apps in Files, the Live list and Save. ComfyUI's own file tabs duplicate Files, so they are hidden by default (admin setting hide_comfy_file_tabs) and their shortcuts open Files.

Files and folders
RigShare organises ComfyUI's workflows folder like a shared drive. Where a workflow is saved decides who can open it and whether it is live. See Sharing workflows for the live part.
The folders
| Folder | On disk (user/default/workflows/) |
Who can open it |
|---|---|---|
| My files | users/<you>/ |
You, plus admins. Created when you first sign in. |
| Shared folders | shared/<name>/ |
Everyone, or only the people the folder's owner chooses. |
| Common workflows | anything else at the top level | Everyone, with their account permissions. |
- Workflows in My files are never live. Everything else is live while someone has it open.
- Renaming an account renames its private folder too, and open tabs follow.
The Files tab
Files has its own icon in the sidebar, with three tabs:
- My files: your private folder.
- Shared: the shared folders plus the common workflows at the top level.
- All (admins only): the whole workflows folder, including everyone's private folders.
![]() My files |
![]() Shared |
![]() All (admins) |
ComfyUI's own Workflows and Apps tabs are hidden, since Files replaces them, and their keyboard shortcuts open Files. Admins can bring them back under Admin → Server settings. Hiding them isn't what protects the files, though: the server applies the same rules whichever browser is used. If you show ComfyUI's open workflow tabs in the sidebar (Comfy.Workflow.WorkflowTabsPosition), the Workflows tab stays, because it lists them.
Workflows saved as Apps (ComfyUI's App mode, .app.json) show with an app icon. Opening one opens it as an app.
Click a workflow to open it. The Files tab marks live workflows with a green dot. From computer opens a workflow file from your machine, like ComfyUI's own Open.
Hover a row for its actions: Rename, Move to…, Delete, and on a shared folder you own, 🔒 Who can open it. The folder button creates a folder. In the Shared tab it creates a shared folder that you own.
Saving
Save (Ctrl+S) on a new workflow, and Save As, open a dialog with a name and the same three tabs. It starts in My files, or in the folder you last saved to. Pick any folder you can edit and click Save here. Clicking an existing workflow reuses its name, and ComfyUI asks before overwriting.
Opening
- Workflow → Open from RigShare… (Ctrl+Alt+O) browses the same folders and opens a workflow.
- ComfyUI's own workflow browser still works. It lists only the workflows you can open.
Who can do what
| My files | Shared folder | Common | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open | owner, admins | everyone, or the folder's list | everyone |
| Save, rename | owner, admins | Edit permission and not Can view on the list | Edit permission |
| Delete, move out | owner, admins | the folder's owner, admins | admins |
- A shared folder's owner is whoever created it. The owner and admins can restrict it to chosen people, each with Can view or Can edit, and rename or delete it.
- The server checks every rule on ComfyUI's own file API, not just in the panel, so a script or another browser cannot get around them.
