Workflows

[bob80817-dev]

I've downloaded a couple of workflows from CivitAi, but I have no idea where to put them. I've read posts on Reddit, but they use different versions like Automatic111. Could someone please advise as to where to manually install them for Locally Uncensored?

Thanks

There is no folder to copy them into. Locally Uncensored imports workflows through the app, not from disk.

Steps:

1. Civitai workflows are usually saved in ComfyUI's normal (editable) format, and that format will not import. Open the workflow in ComfyUI, then use Save (API Format) (you may need to enable dev mode options in ComfyUI settings to see it) and keep that .json.
2. In Create, click the workflow button in the prompt bar. Pick the .json file or paste its contents to import it. If the file is the wrong format you get "Invalid workflow. Export it from ComfyUI using Save (API Format)." (

   locally-uncensored/src/components/create/WorkflowsModal.tsx

   Lines 129 to 136 in 979c9be

   	const importWorkflowJson = (rawText: string, suggestedName?: string) => {
   	setImportError(null)
   	setImportSuccess(null)
   	try {
   	const json = JSON.parse(rawText)
   	if (!validateWorkflowJson(json)) {
   	setImportError('Invalid workflow. Export it from ComfyUI using Save (API Format).')
   	return

   )
3. Pair it with a model using tags: create a tag on the Tags view, give it to the workflow in that popup and to the model on the Models view. The shared tag is the whole pairing.
4. In Create, open Advanced settings (the sliders next to the Create button) and choose your workflow in the Workflow selector instead of Auto. Prompt, size, steps and seed are still injected into it.

The popup also has a short "How it works" guide with the same steps:

locally-uncensored/src/components/create/WorkflowsModal.tsx

Lines 549 to 600 in 979c9be

	function HowItWorks() {
	const steps: Array<{ title: string; body: React.ReactNode }> = [
	{
	title: 'Export from ComfyUI',
	body: (
	<>Save your graph with <b className="text-gray-300 font-medium">Save (API Format)</b> in
	ComfyUI. The regular editable export will not import here.</>
	),
	},
	{
	title: 'Install it',
	body: (
	<>Pick the file or paste the JSON on the Workflows view. Importing again under the
	same name updates the workflow in place and keeps its tags.</>
	),
	},
	{
	title: 'Pair it with a model',
	body: (
	<>Create a tag on the Tags view, for example the model family it was built for.
	Then give that same tag to the workflow here and to a model on the Models view.
	The shared tag is the whole pairing.</>
	),
	},
	{
	title: 'Use it',
	body: (
	<>In Create, open <b className="text-gray-300 font-medium">Advanced settings</b> (the
	sliders next to the Create button). The Workflow selector lists every workflow whose
	tags match the current model. Pick yours instead of Auto and the next render runs
	through your graph. Your prompt, size, steps and seed are still injected, so the
	Create controls keep working.</>
	),
	},
	{
	title: 'Back to the built-in graph',
	body: <>Set the Workflow selector back to <b className="text-gray-300 font-medium">Auto</b>.</>,
	},
	{
	title: 'Remove a workflow or tag',
	body: (
	<>Click its trash icon, then click it again to confirm. Deleting a tag also detaches
	it from every workflow and model that carried it.</>
	),
	},
	]
	return (
	<ol className="space-y-4">
	{steps.map((step, i) => (
	<li key={step.title} className="flex gap-3">
	<span className="shrink-0 w-5 h-5 rounded-full bg-lu-accent-soft text-lu-accent t-label flex items-center justify-center">
	{i + 1}

The imported workflow is kept in the app's own storage, so there is nothing to place manually, and importing again under the same name updates it in place. Feature background is in the 2.6.2 changelog entry: https://github.com/PurpleDoubleD/locally-uncensored/blob/979c9bec405cdd50b20be10f97e4221902f4a45f/CHANGELOG.md

One caveat: the workflow's custom nodes and model files still have to exist in your ComfyUI (custom_nodes/ and models/ folders), since the import only brings in the graph.
