Workflows and sharing
A workflow is one canvas with its nodes and links. Your org can have many workflows. tabletop saves each change at once, so there is no Save button.
The Workflows page
Click Workflows in the header. The page shows the workflows of all your orgs, each with a picture of its canvas.

Start from a template
A template is a ready workflow that tabletop gives you, such as Model generation or Sprite from an image model. The templates show in the Templates row at the top of the Workflows page.
- Click Workflows in the header.
- In Templates, click a template.
tabletop copies the template into your org with the results of its nodes, then opens it. You can see each result before you run a node. Change the prompts and run the nodes to make your own asset.
The list of templates can change. It has templates such as these:
| Template | What it makes |
|---|---|
| Model generation | A 3D model from four views that an image model makes. |
| Rig and animate | A character model that an agent rigs, then animates from a video of the motion. See Animate a character from a video. |
| Animation generation | Your rigged character, which an agent animates from a video of the motion. |
| Character with hair | A rigged character with hair that moves, in a play test. |
| Sprite from an image model | Sprite clips from concept art, with an image model. |
| Sprite from a video model | Sprite clips from concept art, with a video model. |
| Recolor and edit | A sprite with new colors and changed frames. |
