Output Nodes

View, edit, and export your generated content

Output nodes display your final generated content with markdown formatting, editing capabilities, and export options.

Viewing Content

Output nodes receive content from connected AI nodes:

  • The pinned message from the AI node flows to the output
  • Content is rendered with full Markdown formatting (headers, lists, bold, code blocks, etc.)
  • Word count and character count are shown at the bottom

The Floating Toolbar

Hover over an Output node to reveal action buttons:

ButtonDescription
RefreshSync with latest upstream content (appears if content was edited)
Edit (Pencil)Enter edit mode to modify content
CopyCopy content to clipboard
Save (Bookmark)Save output to your Output History
Delete (X)Remove the node from canvas

Editing Content

You can manually edit the output content:

  1. Click the pencil icon to enter edit mode
  2. A text editor appears with your content
  3. Make any changes you need
  4. Click Save Changes to confirm, or Cancel to discard

Edited Badge

When content has been manually edited, an "Edited manually" badge appears on the node.

Upstream Changes

If the connected AI node generates new content while you have edits:

  • A "New upstream" indicator appears in the toolbar
  • The refresh button shows a blue dot
  • Click Refresh to replace your edits with the new generated content

Saving Outputs

Save content to your Output History:

  1. Click the Bookmark icon in the toolbar
  2. The output is saved with:
    • The node's label as title
    • Full content in markdown format
    • Word and character counts

Saved outputs can be accessed from your dashboard's Outputs section.


Tips

Multiple Outputs

Create different outputs from the same AI node:

  • Connect multiple Output nodes to one AI node
  • Give each output a descriptive label ("Blog Post", "Twitter Thread", etc.)
  • Each captures the same pinned AI response

Quick Add

When an AI node has no connected output:

  • A + button pulses on the right side
  • Click it to instantly create and connect an Output node
