Blueprint Editor provides shortcut features such as grouping, node description, and quick connection to help you organize and manage complex blueprints.

Marshalling and storage

When the logic between nodes in a blueprint becomes complex, you can group nodes with similar logic. The system automatically generates a group box to help you organize the canvas. imageThe following grouping features are available:

  • Add Group: Right-click one or more nodes on the canvas and select Add Group to generate a group box. You can resize the group box and drag it to move all enclosed nodes together.

  • Delete Selected: If you no longer need a group, right-click the group box and select Delete Selected.

    Important

    After you delete a group box, it cannot be restored. Proceed with caution.
