CWL Preview Panel

The right-side panel shows a live preview of the CWL workflow that niBuild will generate from your current canvas. The preview updates automatically as you add, remove, or reconfigure nodes and edges.

  • Toggle between the .cwl tab (workflow definition) and the .yml tab (job template with your parameter values).
  • Syntax highlighting: keys in blue, strings in green, booleans in orange, comments in gray.
  • Click Copy to copy the current tab's content to your clipboard.
  • Click Expand to view the preview in a fullscreen modal for detailed review.
  • Use the toggle button to collapse or expand the panel. Panel state is saved in localStorage.

Note

The preview requires at least one non-I/O node to generate output.
