How do I use Canvas for multi-node generation?

This Higgsfield help-centre article explains Canvas, a node-based board where a prompt feeds an image, the image a video and the video an edit, all on one screen. It walks through starting a workflow and how references work: Seedance nodes need each reference's role stated at the start of the prompt, while Kling nodes call a character or element by its @tag. It ends with collaboration, the FigJam plugin and a cost note: every Canvas generation deducts credits, even on Unlimited plans.

What is said
★ — how much it matters to the source.
- ★★★ Canvas is Higgsfield's node-based infinite board for multi-model production: a prompt feeds an image, the image a video, the video an edit, all on one screen; credits are spent only when a node generates, not while building. · Canvas, credit
- ★★ Every Higgsfield model is a node in Canvas; besides chaining, Canvas runs models in parallel to compare outputs side by side, saves a workflow as a reusable template and lets a team work on one board in real time. · Canvas
- ★★ To start a Canvas workflow: higgsfield.ai → Canvas → New canvas, add a Text Prompt node, connect it to a generation node and select the model, then drag each output into the next node's input. · Canvas
- ★★ In Canvas, reference nodes take uploaded images or audio or an existing generation from Assets; each node is generated individually or in sequence, and the workflow can be saved as a template. · Canvas
- ★★★ Seedance nodes in Canvas use connected reference images, but Higgsfield advises stating each reference's role (main character, location, product) at the beginning of the prompt; connecting it visually is not enough. · Seedance, Canvas
- ★★ Kling nodes in Canvas treat a directly connected image as a start frame, not as a character reference. · Kling, Canvas, keyframe
- ★★★ For a character or element reference in a Kling node, Higgsfield advises creating the Element on the platform first and calling it in the prompt with its tag (@element-name). · Kling, Elements, Canvas
- ★ In Canvas, audio nodes attach to video generation nodes for voice references, voice-over or audio sync. · Canvas
- ★★ Several team members can work on one Canvas at once, each adding nodes and generating, with outputs appearing on the shared board in real time; collaborators are invited with Share in the canvas settings. · Canvas
- ★★ The Higgsfield plugin for Figma and FigJam brings Canvas Nodes into FigJam with automatic pipelines and chained workflows; it is installed by searching "Higgsfield AI" in plugins and draws on the plan's credits at standard integration rates. · Canvas, credit
- ★ If Canvas does not load, Higgsfield advises a hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R on Windows, Cmd+Shift+R on Mac), then incognito mode or another browser. · Canvas
- ★★ Canvas autosaves the board periodically, and after a freeze a hard refresh restores the most recent autosave. · Canvas
- ★★★ Unlimited access applies only to standard generation on higgsfield.ai, so every generation in Canvas deducts credits, whatever the plan. · Canvas, Higgsfield Unlimited, credit
