Introduction

Installation

Install the ComfyUI nodes, use the dashboard token flow, download your pre-linked hello-genasset workflow, and verify the first saved asset.

Create a token

Workspace tokens authenticate ComfyUI and Python SDK saves. Create them from the dashboard, not from code examples. Full token values are shown once, so store them like passwords.

Sign in to GenAsset.
For a first run, open Onboarding and create the starter token there.
For normal work, open Settings, then Tokens, and create a token for ComfyUI or Python.
Keep the token private. Do not paste it into public screenshots, Git commits, or shared workflow downloads.

Recommended shared workflow token file

json

{
  "base_url": "https://genasset.xyz",
  "workspace_token": "ga_your_workspace_token"
}

Install nodes

In ComfyUI, open Manager, search for GenAsset, install the custom nodes, then restart ComfyUI.

Manual install

bash

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes && git clone https://github.com/steliosot/ComfyUI-GenAsset.git

GenAsset Manager

After restart, click GenAsset next to ComfyUI Manager. The panel checks connection status, imports public or workspace workflows, shows recent assets, runs Health checks, and can update the GenAsset node pack in place.

Import behavior

Workflow import replaces the canvas like a normal ComfyUI workflow load. It does not queue or run the graph automatically.

Health checks

Use the Health tab to resolve missing models, preview Repro Lock metadata, and run Workflow Doctor before sharing or queueing unfamiliar workflows.

Download workflows

In Onboarding, workflow download stays locked until you create a token on that page. For day-to-day use, the GenAsset Manager can import public and workspace workflows directly into the canvas.

SD 1.5 text to image

Generates a preview and sends the output to Save To GenAsset.

Download

Load asset from GenAsset img2img

Loads an existing GenAsset asset, edits it, and saves the next version.

Download

Default checkpoint

Workflows show their required model names inside ComfyUI. For the validated Flux tutorial, start with Generate with Flux and save and place model files in the folders listed there.

Verify setup

Queue the workflow, click Verify on the onboarding step, then open Assets. A successful save creates hello-genasset with at least one version and attached metadata.
