Editor Features

The Orchka Editor has been enhanced with new tools and visual improvements to help you organize and build simpler, cleaner workflows.

Canvas & Visualization

Step Connections

The editor now uses Step edges (orthogonal lines) by default. This creates clean, right-angled connections between nodes, making complex workflows easier to read and follow compared to curved Bezier lines.

Improved Grid

The canvas features a refined dot pattern grid to help you align nodes precisely.

Node Palette

The Node Palette is now a dedicated, resizable panel on the left side of the editor (or accessible via the generic "Add Node" button).

• Search: Quickly find nodes by name or category.
• Categories: Nodes are organized into Triggers, Actions, and Control logic.
• Drag & Drop: You can drag nodes directly from the palette onto the canvas.

Organization Tools

Group Nodes

Keep your workflow organized by grouping related nodes together.

• Grouping: Drag a Group Node from the palette onto the canvas and resize it to encompass other nodes.
• Magnetic Movement: Moving a Group Node automatically moves all the nodes contained within its boundaries. This allows you to rearrange entire workflow sections effortlessly.
• Ungrouping: Simply drag a node out of the group's boundary to detach it. Deleting a group node will leave its child nodes on the canvas, preserving your work.
• Customization: Group nodes can be colored and labeled to provide visual cues for different workflow segments.

Annotation Nodes (Sticky Notes)

Add context and documentation directly to your workflow using Annotation Nodes.

• Rich Text: Add titles and detailed descriptions to explain complex logic or document design decisions.
• Visual Clarity: Use annotations to label sections, leave TODOs, or provide instructions for other team members.
• Flexible Styling: Choose from multiple color themes (Yellow, Blue, Green, Pink) to categorize your notes or highlight critical information.
• Persistence: Annotations are saved with your workflow and remain exactly where you placed them.
