Nodes, connections, and branching

Connect prompts, references, and selected results to build a visible chain of creative decisions.

Last updated August 22, 2026

Leafage works best when each node holds one decision and the canvas shows how later work grew from it.

What a node contains

A generation node can store a prompt, model, settings, run history, selected version, label, credit charge, and generated text, image, or video. Imported nodes hold reference assets. Collector nodes gather outputs you want to compare or keep nearby.

What a connection means

A connection marks a source node as context for a target node. Leafage sends the selected parent result with the target prompt when the chosen model supports that kind of input.

Use connections to refine an image, turn written direction into a visual, create video from an image, or combine several references. The model picker and controls determine which combinations can run.

Create a branch

Drag from the connection point on an existing node to create the next node, or add a node elsewhere and connect it to the parent. Existing connections and new connections share that same point.

Write the new prompt as the change from the selected result:

Keep the product and framing. Use warmer morning light and a quieter background.

Connect several parents

A target can use more than one parent when the model supports those references. Keep source material to the left, explorations in the middle, and selected outcomes toward the right.

Select the right version

The selected parent version supplies the active result for a child node. Choose the version before starting the child generation.

Duplicate or branch

Duplicate when you want the same prompt, settings, and history in a second node. Branch when the next node should remain visibly connected to the decision that produced it.
