Every node in your Flow tree is a container for gallery media, notes, and metadata. Here is how you manage these nodes as your project outline takes shape.

​
Creating Nodes

You can build your tree quickly using keyboard shortcuts or mouse clicks:
  • New node (keyboard): Press N or Ctrl+N. With a node selected, the new node is added as a child. With no node selected, it becomes a root. (On Mac, Cmd+N is New Flow, not add node.)
  • Context Menu: Right-click any node and choose New Node or New Child.
  • There is no Enter / Tab / Insert shortcut for creating siblings or children.

​
Renaming Nodes

  • Quick Rename: Select a node and press F2 or Enter (single selection, tree focus, not while typing in a text field), or double-click the node text to enter edit mode.
  • Save Name: Press Enter or click outside the text box to save the new name.
  • Cancel Rename: Press Escape to revert to the original name.

​
Reordering & Dragging

You can reorder nodes dynamically:
  • Drag and Drop: Click and hold a node to drag it. You can move it between siblings or nest it under a new parent.
  • Drop Indicators: A horizontal bar shows where the node will land if dropped between others. Highlighting a node indicates it will become a child of that node.
  • Subtree Moving: Dragging a parent node automatically moves all of its nested children, preserving the entire sub-hierarchy.

​
Duplicating & Deleting

  • Duplicate Subtree: Right-click a node and select Duplicate. This creates an exact copy of the node, its entire nested child tree, and all associated gallery slots and summaries.
  • Delete: Select a node and press Delete or Cmd/Ctrl + Backspace. Deleting a parent node requires confirmation if it contains children, safeguarding you from accidental data loss.
[!TIP] Subtree Exports: You can also export a selected subtree as a standalone .fj file for sharing. See Export & Import to learn more.
