--- **Workflow Snapshot Manager** automatically captures your ComfyUI workflow as you edit. Browse, name, search, and restore any previous version from a sidebar panel — all stored locally in your browser's IndexedDB.

## Features - **Auto-capture** — Snapshots are saved automatically as you edit, with configurable debounce - **Custom naming** — Name your snapshots when taking them manually ("Before merge", "Working v2", etc.) - **Search & filter** — Quickly find snapshots by name with the filter bar - **Restore or Swap** — Open a snapshot as a new workflow, or replace the current one in-place - **Per-workflow storage** — Each workflow has its own independent snapshot history - **Theme-aware UI** — Adapts to light and dark ComfyUI themes - **Toast notifications** — Visual feedback for save, restore, and error operations - **Concurrency-safe** — Lock guard prevents double-click issues during restore - **Zero backend** — Pure frontend extension, no server dependencies ## Installation ### ComfyUI Manager (Recommended) Search for **Workflow Snapshot Manager** in [ComfyUI Manager](https://github.com/ltdrdata/ComfyUI-Manager) and click Install. ### Git Clone ```bash cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes git clone https://github.com/ethanfel/Comfyui-Workflow-Snapshot-Manager.git ``` Restart ComfyUI after installing. ## Usage ### 1. Open the Sidebar Click the **clock icon** () in the ComfyUI sidebar to open the Snapshots panel. ### 2. Snapshots are Captured Automatically As you edit your workflow, snapshots are saved automatically after a configurable delay (default: 3 seconds). An initial snapshot is also captured when the workflow loads. ### 3. Take a Named Snapshot Click **Take Snapshot** to manually save the current state. A prompt lets you enter a custom name — great for checkpoints like "Before refactor" or "Working config". ### 4. Search & Filter Use the filter bar at the top of the panel to search snapshots by name. The clear button (**×**) resets the filter. ### 5. Restore or Swap Each snapshot has two action buttons: | Button | Action | |--------|--------| | **Swap** | Replaces the current workflow in-place (same tab) | | **Restore** | Opens the snapshot as a new workflow | ### 6. Delete & Clear - Click **×** on any snapshot to delete it individually - Click **Clear All Snapshots** in the footer to remove all snapshots for the current workflow (with confirmation dialog) ## Settings All settings are available in **ComfyUI Settings > Snapshot Manager > Capture Settings**: | Setting | Type | Default | Description | |---------|------|---------|-------------| | **Auto-capture on edit** | Toggle | `On` | Automatically save snapshots when the workflow changes | | **Capture delay** | Slider | `3s` | Seconds to wait after the last edit before auto-capturing (1–30s) | | **Max snapshots per workflow** | Slider | `50` | Maximum number of snapshots kept per workflow (5–200). Oldest are pruned automatically | | **Capture on workflow load** | Toggle | `On` | Save an "Initial" snapshot when a workflow is first loaded | ## Architecture

**Data flow:** 1. **Graph edits** trigger a `graphChanged` event 2. A **debounce timer** prevents excessive writes 3. The workflow is serialized and **hash-checked** against the last capture (per-workflow) to avoid duplicates 4. New snapshots are written to **IndexedDB** (browser-local, persistent) 5. The **sidebar panel** reads from IndexedDB and renders the snapshot list 6. **Restore/Swap** loads graph data back into ComfyUI with a lock guard to prevent concurrent operations **Storage:** All data stays in your browser's IndexedDB — nothing is sent to any server. Snapshots persist across browser sessions and ComfyUI restarts. ## FAQ **Where are snapshots stored?** In your browser's IndexedDB under the database `ComfySnapshotManager`. They persist across sessions but are browser-local (not synced between devices). **Will this slow down ComfyUI?** No. Snapshots are captured asynchronously after a debounce delay. The hash check prevents redundant writes. **What happens if I switch workflows?** Each workflow has its own snapshot history. Switching workflows cancels any pending captures and shows the correct snapshot list. **Can I use this with ComfyUI Manager?** Yes — install via ComfyUI Manager or clone the repo into `custom_nodes/`. ## License [MIT](LICENSE)
