Groups in ComfyUI

ComfyUI's group function is for operating multiple nodes together, but the UI behavior is a bit quirky.

Rather than "organizing nodes functionally", it is a visual-oriented function that "handles nodes touching the specified rectangular area together".

If you want to create a functional unit, Subgraph is more suitable.

Creating a Group

Create Manually

  • Right click on canvas -> Add Group
  • Resize or move the frame to fit the nodes inside

Create from Selected Nodes

  • Select nodes -> Click # (Frame Nodes) in Node Selection Toolbox

Note Since the group frame can only be a rectangle, depending on the layout, unselected nodes may be included in the group.

This restricts the layout of nodes, so personally I don't use the group function much.

Editing Group Frame

Click the header of the group frame and operate from Node Selection Toolbox.

  • Color: Change color
  • Remove: Delete group frame

Operating Group

Right click the header of the group frame, or operate from ⋮ in Node Selection Toolbox.

  • Fit Group to Nodes: Automatically adjust frame size
  • Select Nodes: Select all nodes in the group
  • Bypass Group Nodes: Bypass nodes in the group all at once
