Organizing a board

Keep large boards tidy with groups, network boxes, connection wires, alignment, and reusable templates.

Drag across an empty area to rubber-band (marquee) select, or hold Ctrl / Shift and click to add items one at a time. Ctrl + A selects everything. Most of the commands below act on the current selection.

A logical group makes a set of nodes move together without drawing anything around them:

  • Group selectedCtrl + G. Tags the selected nodes as one group so they drag as a unit.
  • Ungroup selectedCtrl + Shift + G. Dissolves the grouping.

A network box is a labelled container drawn around a cluster of nodes — a visible region you can title and move as a whole.

  • Group + network boxShift + G wraps the current selection in a network box and groups it.
  • New network boxCtrl + Shift + O drops a box around the selection, or an empty box at the center of the view when nothing is selected.

Type a label on the box to name the region. Network-box labels are searchable from the canvas Search popup (Tab).

Connect nodes with wires to show relationships:

  • ParentCtrl + P. The first-selected node becomes the parent; the rest become its children, joined by a grey wire. You can also hold J and drag from one node to another to draw a parent wire by hand.
  • Dynamic link (color swatches)Ctrl + Shift + P, or hold Shift + J and drag. Child color swatches derive their colors from the first-selected parent through its color-theory rules, so editing the parent re-tints the children.
  • Cut a wirehold Y (scissor) and drag across a wire to snip it.

Hold A to enter align mode, then:

  • Click to snap the selection into a grid.
  • Drag horizontally or vertically to arrange the selection into an even row or column.

Save a layout once and reuse it:

  • Create templateCtrl + Shift + T saves the current selection as a reusable template.
  • Open template libraryCtrl + Alt + T to browse, insert, and manage saved templates.

Export selectionCtrl + Shift + E writes the selection out as a portable .prmic cluster file you can drop onto another board. Sticky notes export as Prompt nodes and images export as Reference Image nodes, so a cluster is ready to feed the Local AI image-gen graph on the other side.
