ComfyUI Extension: ComfyUI Pause Workflow Node

ComfyUI-pause Introduction

ComfyUI-pause is an extension designed to enhance your workflow management within the ComfyUI environment. This tool introduces a unique feature that allows you to pause your workflow at specific points, giving you the opportunity to review and make decisions before proceeding. This can be particularly useful for AI artists who want to ensure the quality of their work at various stages of the creative process. By integrating a manual confirmation step, ComfyUI-pause helps you maintain control over your workflow, ensuring that each step meets your artistic standards before moving forward.

How ComfyUI-pause Works

At its core, ComfyUI-pause functions as a checkpoint within your workflow. Imagine it as a traffic light that stops the flow of your creative process, allowing you to take a moment to assess the current state of your project. When your workflow reaches a pause point, it halts, waiting for your input to either continue or cancel the process. This is achieved through a simple interface where you can click a "Continue" button to proceed or a "Cancel" button to stop the workflow entirely. This mechanism ensures that you have the opportunity to make informed decisions at critical junctures, enhancing the overall quality and precision of your work.

ComfyUI-pause Features

ComfyUI-pause offers several key features that make it a valuable addition to your workflow:

• Pause Points: Insert pause points at any stage of your workflow to review progress and make decisions.
• Manual Confirmation: Requires you to manually confirm whether to continue or cancel the workflow, giving you full control over the process.
• Data Flow Preservation: Maintains the integrity of data flow between nodes with two pass-through inputs and outputs, ensuring that your workflow remains seamless and uninterrupted. These features can be customized to fit your specific needs. For example, you might choose to place a pause point before a significant transformation or upscaling step, allowing you to verify the quality of the output before committing to further processing.

ComfyUI-pause Models

Currently, ComfyUI-pause does not include different models. It functions as a singular node within your workflow, providing a consistent and reliable pause mechanism. This simplicity ensures that you can easily integrate it into your existing processes without the need for additional configuration or model selection.
