Import & export workflows

This article explains how to open, save, and move workflows across Comfy environments.

Q. How do I import a workflow?

You can open workflows in multiple ways.

Supported methods:

• Drag and drop a workflow file into ComfyUI

• Open the Comfy icon → File → Open

Once imported, the workflow will appear in your workspace.

Q. How do I save a workflow?

Saving and exporting serve different purposes.

Save / Save As

• Saves the workflow to your account or workspace

Export / Export (API)

• Exports the workflow externally as a file

Choose the option depending on whether you want to keep working inside Comfy or move the workflow elsewhere.

Q. Can I use the same workflow across Cloud and Local?

Generally, yes.

Comfy Cloud and ComfyUI Local use the same general workflow format, so workflows can usually be shared between environments.

However, compatibility may vary if a workflow depends on:

• Nodes not currently supported

• Environment-specific configurations

• Models or dependencies unavailable in the target environment

Q. My workflow doesn’t load correctly

If a workflow opens with missing components or errors:

• Confirm required nodes are installed or supported

• Check whether required models are available

• Verify environment compatibility (Cloud vs Local)
