Elements, @ Mentions, & More

This release introduces Elements — reusable visual references that live right on your canvas — alongside @ mentions for wiring nodes together, a searchable model menu, full generation history on your dashboard, and major upgrades to batch workflows.

📦 New

  1. Elements

    Reusable visual references (characters, styles, color palettes) that live as nodes on your canvas.

    MoreLess

    Create them from a right-click or from any selection of existing generations, then pull them into any prompt by typing #. A picker appears, the element's images are automatically fed as input, and the system warns you if you exceed a model's max input count. Learn more about Elements and model compatibility here.

  2. @ Mentions

    Reference any canvas node directly from a prompt field.

    MoreLess

    Within any prompt field, type @ to open a picker of compatible nodes (connected ones grouped at the top), select one, and a graph edge is created automatically — feeding that node's output into your generation. Works alongside # for elements, giving you two fast ways to wire context into prompts.

  3. Add Node Menu — Model Search

    Find and add any model instantly.

    MoreLess

    The Add Node menu now includes a search bar across every available model, grouped by provider with submenu expansion. Type to filter, set a quantity for bulk-adding, and models are automatically filtered by compatibility with your current connections.

  4. Dashboard — Generation History

    Browse every generation you've ever made.

    MoreLess

    A new masonry-grid page on the dashboard shows all past generations across every project with infinite scroll and export options — perfect for revisiting earlier work or pulling assets into new projects.

🧠 Improved

  1. Batch Node — click-to-select sync

    Clicking a collection item in a batch node now auto-highlights the matching generation in downstream blocks, making it easy to trace results through complex workflows.

  2. Batch Node — downstream workflows

    Connect a batch node to a full multi-step workflow and run everything end-to-end.

    MoreLess

    Each item flows through all downstream blocks automatically, unlocking true pipeline-style batch processing.

FLORA Weekly

📦 New

    MoreLess

    Add and style text layers with full control, opening up typography-driven workflows like posters, social media graphics, and branded content.

    MoreLess

    Connect one input to your router and fan it out to any number of downstream nodes — hit R to drop one in instantly.

🧠 Improved

  1. Batch Node → Generation Selection

    Click any collection item in the batch node and it automatically selects the corresponding generation in the downstream node. No more hunting through outputs.

  2. Batch Node Text & CSV Support

    Use text delimiting or upload a CSV directly to power your batch runs, making it much easier to process structured inputs at scale.

  3. Aspect Ratio Presets

    New dropdown in the Layer Editor with your most-used formats baked in. Pick your ratio and keep moving.
