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.

All, for admins
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. Inside a shared folder you own, the same 🔒 sits next to the new-folder button. The folder button creates a folder. In the Shared tab it creates a shared folder that you own.

Saving

Save dialog

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.
