The node card
The node card opens next to the library when you click a node in the Nodes tab. It says what the node does, where it comes from, what goes in, what you set on it and what comes out, before you put it on the canvas.
<!-- picture: the card of KSampler -->What the card shows
| Part | What it says |
|---|---|
| Category | the group of the node in ComfyUI, for example sampling |
| Comes from | "ComfyUI itself", or the node pack. When the app knows the pack, a second, quieter sentence says what it is. |
| What the pack says about itself | for a node from a pack: the pack's own description and Repository with Copy the repository link (More / Less for a long text) |
| What it is, Usually used for, How to connect it, Watch out | the app's built-in knowledge of this node, with the mark Fact (read from ComfyUI or the file) or Guess (concluded from names and context) |
| Description from its author | what the node's author wrote, when there is no knowledge of the app |
| What goes in | the inputs, each with its data type; "optional" marks the ones that may stay empty. Hover over a type (VIDEO, AUDIO and the others too) to read what it carries. |
| Fields on the node | the fields: "default 20", "from 1 to 10000", "a list of 12", "a file from the folder loras", "text" |
| What comes out | the outputs with their types |
When nothing goes in, the card says "Nothing is linked into it: a branch starts here." When nothing comes out: "Nothing comes out: a branch ends here."
