Tracing Connections

Tracing helps you understand relationships between elements on the canvas: where an element came from, where it flows next, and how a workflow is structured.

What tracing shows

Any element that was generated from or connected to another element has traceable lineage.

• Upstream: the inputs that produced it, such as source images, prompts, and reference elements.
• Downstream: later elements that use it as input.

This is useful on complex canvases where many elements are connected across several generation steps.

Follow connections visually

Selected elements and their direct connections are highlighted on the canvas. You can manually follow a chain by clicking through connected elements.

Workflow lineage

Because every generation step records its inputs as edges, a connected canvas becomes a record of how the work was produced. You can inspect any image and trace back to the original references, prompts, and intermediate steps.
