A collection is an Image input that holds more than one image. Only the images you select flow on to the nodes it’s connected to, so you can keep a set of sketches, references or materials on the canvas and switch between them without rewiring anything. Most examples are built this way. Open one, pick the sketch and the reference you want, click Run, and you get one result. Pick different images and run again to try another combination.
Two collections, Sketches and References, each with one selected image, connected to a Renders node

​
Adding images

Click Add on an Image input to upload more images, or drop image files onto the node. As soon as it holds more than one image, the node shows them as a grid with a count such as 1 of 4. To add images from elsewhere, click Open to open the collection, then:
  • Upload: choose files from your computer
  • Paste a link: add an image from a URL
  • Import from > Your assets: pick images you’ve generated or uploaded before, searchable by prompt

​
Choosing which images flow on

Click an image on the node to select it, and click it again to deselect it. Unselected images are dimmed.
  • Some images selected: only those images flow on.
  • Nothing selected: every image flows on.
The selection is saved with the workflow, so anyone who opens it, or runs it as a tool, gets the same images. To run a node once per image instead of once overall, clear the selection so every image flows on, then set the list-handling chip on the receiving input to Each. See Data Matching.

​
The collection editor

Click Open on the node (or double-click its grid) to open the collection full size.
The References collection open full size with one image selected, and a footer reading 1 selected, going to Renders as Image URLs
The footer tells you what will happen when the workflow runs: how many images are selected (or All 4 flow on when none are) and which node and input they’re Going to. From here you can:
  • Click images to select or deselect them, or use Select all and Clear
  • Add a caption to an image
  • Add a Tag to an image, then click the tag chips at the top to filter the collection by tag
  • Delete the selected images
Click Done or press Esc to close it.
