Use the Inspector
Configure the current selection and understand its parameters, outcomes, data ports, and quick actions.
The Inspector changes with the current selection.
Prerequisites
Sign in to an account with Flow Editor access and open a strategy. Editing Inspector values requires permission to edit the strategy; historical previews remain read-only.
Inspect a node
Select a node to see:
- Parameters for saved configuration.
- Outcomes for possible control branches.
- Data Ports for typed inputs and outputs active in the current configuration.
- Quick actions for the selected node when they are allowed.
Use the help action beside an unfamiliar item. A connected-node action can move focus to a related node.
Inspect other selections
Select a connection to inspect its source, destination, and kind. Select the canvas to see graph-level context. A multiple selection exposes actions that apply to the group.
Work on compact screens
On a compact viewport, the Inspector opens as an overlay and may close another workspace drawer. Close it with its visible action or Escape, then confirm that focus returns to a useful control.
Historical preview is read-only. Full replay uses the Replay Dock instead of the Inspector.
