## Overview

Configure node parameters to control how each node processes data in your workflow. Understanding parameter types helps you fine-tune your AI generation results.

***

## Accessing Node Settings

Node settings appear directly in the node body on the canvas. Click on any parameter field to edit its value.

For additional options:

1. **Right-click** on a node
2. Select **Properties** from the context menu
3. View and edit all node properties

***

## Parameter Types

Nodes use different parameter types depending on what kind of input they need.

### Numeric Parameters

| Type              | Description                | Example Values             |
| ----------------- | -------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| **Integer (INT)** | Whole numbers only         | 1, 512, 1024               |
| **Float (FLOAT)** | Decimal numbers            | 0.5, 7.5, 0.75             |
| **Seed**          | Random seed for generation | Any integer; -1 for random |

Numeric fields often have constraints:

- **Min/Max values:** Limits the range you can enter
- **Step:** Controls increment when using arrows or sliders

:::BlockQuote
**💡 Tip:** Use the same seed value to reproduce identical results. Set seed to -1 for random generation each run.

### Text Parameters

| Type                 | Description            | Example                  |
| -------------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------------ |
| **String**           | Single-line text input | Filenames, simple values |
| **Text (multiline)** | Multi-line text area   | Prompts, descriptions    |

### Selection Parameters

| Type         | Description                    | How to Use                                      |
| ------------ | ------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------- |
| **Dropdown** | Choose from predefined options | Click to open list, select option               |
| **Combo**    | Select from available items    | Often populated dynamically (e.g., model lists) |

### Boolean Parameters

| Value           | Meaning          |
| --------------- | ---------------- |
| **True / On**   | Feature enabled  |
| **False / Off** | Feature disabled |

Toggle by clicking the checkbox or switch.

## Common Node Parameters

### Sampler Nodes

| Parameter         | Type     | Description                                                   |
| ----------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **steps**         | Integer  | Number of denoising steps (more = higher quality, slower)     |
| **cfg**           | Float    | Classifier-free guidance scale (how closely to follow prompt) |
| **sampler\_name** | Dropdown | Which sampling algorithm to use                               |
| **scheduler**     | Dropdown | How to schedule the denoising process                         |
| **denoise**       | Float    | Amount of noise to remove (1.0 = full generation)             |

### Image Size Nodes

| Parameter       | Type    | Description                  |
| --------------- | ------- | ---------------------------- |
| **width**       | Integer | Image width in pixels        |
| **height**      | Integer | Image height in pixels       |
| **batch\_size** | Integer | Number of images to generate |

### Loader Nodes

| Parameter      | Type  | Description                    |
| -------------- | ----- | ------------------------------ |
| **ckpt\_name** | Combo | Checkpoint model to load       |
| **lora\_name** | Combo | LoRA model to apply            |
| **strength**   | Float | How strongly to apply the LoRA |

***

## Input Types

Inputs on the left side of nodes accept connections from other nodes.

| Input Appearance      | Meaning                            |
| --------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| **Solid dot**         | Required input (must be connected) |
| **Hollow dot / ring** | Optional input (can be left empty) |

Optional inputs allow the node to run with default behavior when not connected.

***

## Widgets vs Inputs

Some parameters can work as both widgets (editable in the node) and inputs (connected from another node):

- **Widget mode:** Edit the value directly in the node
- **Input mode:** Value comes from a connected node

Right-click on convertible parameters to toggle between modes.

***

## Tips & Best Practices

- **Start with defaults:** Most nodes have sensible defaults; adjust after seeing initial results
- **Small changes:** Adjust one parameter at a time to understand its effect
- **Save presets:** Note down parameter combinations that work well for your use cases
- **Check tooltips:** Hover over parameters for descriptions of what they do

***

## Troubleshooting

### Parameter won't accept my value?

**Solution:** The value may be outside the allowed range. Check for min/max constraints on numeric fields.

### Dropdown is empty?

**Solution:** The dropdown may populate from loaded resources. Ensure required models or files are loaded earlier in the workflow.

### Changes not taking effect?

**Solution:** Re-run the workflow after changing parameters. Some changes only apply on the next execution.
