Open and close the panel
Click the panel icon in the top right control area to open the panel. The button tooltip reads Toggle properties panel, and when the workflow has errors while the panel is closed, the button shows a red dot so you can open the panel straight into the error list. Close the panel from the icon in its own header.
The panel follows your selection
The title and the available tabs change with what is selected on the canvas:
Click the pencil button next to the title to rename the selected node or group. For a subgraph node, the header also shows an Edit subgraph button that opens the subgraph editor inside the panel.
The Errors tab appears only when the selection has relevant errors, or when nothing is selected and the workflow contains errors. You can hide the tab entirely with the Show errors tab in side panel setting under
Comfy → Error System.
Parameters
With one node selected, the Parameters tab lists its inputs under INPUTS. With several items selected, the same view is labelled Nodes and lists the inputs of every selected item. Both views have a search field at the top and a collapsible section per node. Inputs marked as advanced are collected in a separate ADVANCED INPUTS section. Every input has an actions menu with Rename, Favorite, and Reset to default, plus Hide input for inputs promoted from a subgraph. When multiple nodes are selected, each section also has a button to locate its nodes on the canvas.
Nodes
The Nodes tab is shown when nothing is selected. It lists every node in the workflow with its inputs, searchable and collapsible, so you can review or edit any node from one place. It is also the label the parameters view uses when several items are selected.Info
The Info tab appears for a single selected node that is not a subgraph. It shows the same Node docs help content you get from the selection toolbox docs icon and from the help button on Nodes 2.0.Settings
With a selection, the Settings tab covers the selected nodes and groups:- Node state: Normal, Bypass, or Mute.
- Node color: pick a color for the node.
- Pinned: pins the node so it stays fixed in place on the canvas.

- Nodes: Show advanced parameters, Show toolbox on selection, Nodes 2.0.
- Canvas: Grid spacing, Snap nodes to grid.
- Connection links: Link shape, Show connected links.
- View all settings: opens the full settings dialog.
Errors
The Errors tab groups the problems that block the workflow, so you can resolve them before running:- Node errors: the failing node, the error message, an Expand and Collapse control, and Locate node on canvas.
- Missing node packs: Install All, Apply Changes, and View in Manager when ComfyUI Manager is available.
- Missing models: Download for a single file or Download all, Import in Comfy Cloud for models you provide yourself, and a note when a model is gated on Hugging Face and needs a signed-in account with the license accepted.
- Missing inputs: input media that the workflow expects but cannot find.
- Error log and links to submit a GitHub issue or contact support.
Favoriting inputs
Favorited inputs are the panel’s shortcuts. Open the Parameters tab, click the actions menu on any input, and choose Favorite. Favorited inputs then appear in the panel whenever nothing is selected, where you can search and reorder them. Use Unfavorite in the same menu to remove one.
