 "page_title": "How to run an exported ComfyUI workflow as simple controls with HEISS UI",
 "summary": "Import a graph you built in ComfyUI and use it from the studio with a clean set of controls.",
 "who": "A ComfyUI user with a custom workflow who wants teammates or themselves to run it without opening the graph.",
 "problem": "A custom graph is hard to hand to someone who only needs a prompt box and a result.",
 "outcome": "Your workflow appears in the model menu under Your workflows, with prompt, size, seed and steps as controls, while your graph runs underneath.",
 "steps": [
  "Build and test the graph in ComfyUI, then export it in API format (the regular workflow file also works).",
  "Open the Workflow Gallery from the dock and drop the file on it, or paste the JSON.",
  "Check the connections under Change connections, then import.",
  "Install any nodes the workflow needs, then find it under Your workflows in the model menu."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the HEISS-UI repo (github.com/tristmeister/HEISS-UI) running on a local ComfyUI, import the exported workflow file <path to workflow.json> through the Workflow Gallery and review the flagged connections. Report which inputs were guessed, which nodes run code or go online, and whether the workflow appears under Your workflows. Verify that one test render completes.",

 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "45 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The workflow only shows up under Your workflows after the nodes it needs are installed, so a missing node pack will hide it until you add that pack.",

  "Enough disk space for the model files you choose to download"
