Command Center

The Command Center is the keyboard-first launcher for the editor. It opens as a floating panel and is the fastest way to move between templates, search, imports, assets, layout, page management, layer management, and Studio-adjacent actions.

[!NOTE] Open it with Cmd + K on macOS or Ctrl + K on Windows/Linux.

The top-level command list includes actions such as:

  • Open Flowpilot
  • Import from data
  • Start from Template
  • Edit Flow DSL
  • Edit Mermaid Code
  • Assets
  • Search Nodes
  • Auto Layout
  • Design Systems

Playback-related entries may also appear when the relevant playback surface is active in the current product path.

Use Assets when you want reusable visual libraries, not generic editor actions. The current asset libraries are centered on:

  • developer logos
  • AWS service shapes
  • Azure diagrams
  • GCP diagrams
  • CNCF shapes
  • general-purpose icon sets

General insert actions are better handled from the toolbar add menu.

Use templates when you want a proven starting structure instead of a blank canvas.

Use search to jump to named nodes in larger diagrams.

Use Import when you already have source material such as SQL, OpenAPI, Terraform, Mermaid, or code-oriented structure that should become an editable first draft.

Use Layers when the diagram needs visibility, lock, ordering, or section-level organization without flattening everything into one canvas plane.

Use Pages when one flow should contain multiple related canvases instead of separate documents.

Use Design Systems to switch themes, duplicate them, edit them, or import/export theme JSON.

The Command Center is the fastest bridge between the canvas and Studio:

  • use the canvas for direct manipulation
  • use the inspector for exact edits
  • use the Command Center for navigation, search, import, templates, assets, layers, pages, layout, and workflow switching
