Introduction: Why Mastering 300+ Art Styles in ComfyUI Will Multiply Your Creative Power

Imagine sitting at your desk, typing a single prompt, and instantly being able to generate not just one, but hundreds of unique art variations,paintings, illustrations, vector art, and experimental styles,without having to learn a dozen different tools or spend hours fine-tuning your workflow. That’s the promise of integrating over 300 free art styles into ComfyUI.

This course is your step-by-step guide to unlocking that creative arsenal. You’ll learn how to install, integrate, and wield a massive collection of pre-defined art styles, originally curated for platforms like Forge UI and Automatic 1111, directly inside ComfyUI. We’ll go from foundational definitions and setup to advanced workflow customization, prompt engineering, and creative experimentation. Along the way, you’ll discover practical solutions, troubleshooting tactics, and best practices that will make you not just a user, but a confident experimenter and workflow architect.

If you’ve ever felt boxed in by a single style or frustrated by repetitive results, this course will show you how to break through those barriers and tap into a world of aesthetic diversity. Let’s get started.

Understanding ComfyUI and the Power of Art Styles

Before we dive into importing hundreds of art styles, it’s critical to understand the core building blocks: ComfyUI’s node-based system, the difference between positive and negative prompts, and why “art style” is more than just a buzzword in generative AI.

What is ComfyUI?
ComfyUI is a visual, node-based interface for Stable Diffusion workflows. Each block,or node,performs a specific function: loading a model, encoding a prompt, or sampling the final image. Nodes are connected in a logical sequence, creating what’s known as a “workflow.” Think of it as building with LEGO bricks, where each brick has a specific job, and the way you snap them together determines what you build.

What are Prompts?
In ComfyUI (and generative AI at large), prompts are simply text instructions that tell the AI what you want to see. There are two main types:

• Positive Prompt: Describes what you want to appear in your image (“A cyberpunk cityscape at sunset”)
• Negative Prompt: Describes what you want to avoid (“No blurry details, no low-res, no text”)

Why Art Styles Matter
An “art style” in this context is more than just an adjective like “impressionist” or “futuristic.” Each style is a carefully crafted combination of positive and negative prompts that can dramatically alter the mood, texture, and composition of your images. With 300+ styles, you’re not just tweaking a filter,you’re leveraging the creative intelligence of thousands of artists, photographers, and designers distilled into prompt engineering.

Example 1: You want to generate a sci-fi portrait. Using a “Photographic” style prompt, you get a hyper-realistic image; switch to a “Watercolor Painting” style, and suddenly it’s soft, dreamy, and textured.
Example 2: You’re designing game assets. Apply a “Vector” style for crisp, flat-color icons, then test a “3D Render” style to create detailed, shaded models for the same concept.

Step 1: Downloading the 300+ Art Styles CSV File

The heart of this workflow is a CSV file containing over 300 art styles, each with a name, positive prompt, and negative prompt. Getting this file is your first step.

Where to Download
You’ll find the download link in the description of the original video or shared resources (often on Discord servers or dedicated repositories). The file is typically named styles.csv or something similar.

What’s Inside the CSV?
Open it with a spreadsheet application or text editor and you’ll see:

• Style Name (e.g., “Anime Watercolor”)
• Positive Prompt (e.g., “soft watercolor, pastel tones, anime style, delicate lines”)
• Negative Prompt (e.g., “harsh lines, photorealism, dull colors”)

Example 1: “Vector Flat” might include positive prompts like “clean lines, flat shading, minimal detail,” and negative prompts like “photo texture, gradients.”
Example 2: “Experimental Glitch” might add “glitch effect, fragmented, RGB split” to the positive prompt and “smooth surfaces, realism” to the negative prompt.

Best Practice: Always keep a backup copy of the original CSV before making changes. If you accidentally corrupt the file, you can redownload it and replace the broken version.

Step 2: Installing the Styles CSV Loader Custom Node

ComfyUI’s default installation doesn’t know how to read and use this styles CSV file. To bridge the gap, you’ll add a custom node called “Styles CSV loader.”

Why Custom Nodes Matter
Custom nodes extend ComfyUI’s power far beyond the default feature set. They’re like plugins for your workflow,unlocking new capabilities, from advanced prompt handling to new image effects. In this case, the Styles CSV loader gives you direct access to hundreds of predefined prompts at the click of a button.

How to Install the Styles CSV Loader
1. Open ComfyUI and click on the Manager (often called the Custom Nodes Manager).
2. Search for “load Styles.”
3. Find the node named “Styles CSV loader” (or similar).
4. Click Install.
5. Restart ComfyUI so the new node appears in your node palette.

Example 1: Without the loader, you’d have to manually copy and paste style prompts,a tedious and error-prone process. With the loader installed, selecting a style is as easy as choosing from a dropdown menu.
Example 2: If you decide to migrate styles from Automatic 1111 or Forge UI, this node makes the process seamless, as it’s designed to be compatible with those formats.

Tip: Whenever you install a new custom node, read any documentation or tooltips provided. Some nodes have extra options or require specific folder placements for files.

Step 3: Placing the Styles CSV File in the Correct Location

Your custom node needs to know where to find the styles file. Correct placement is key to making the loader work properly.

Where Should You Put the File?
Typically, you’ll place styles.csv in the root folder of your ComfyUI installation or in a subfolder specified by the loader’s documentation. If in doubt, check the node’s settings or hover over its tooltip for hints.

Example 1: If you installed ComfyUI in C:\ComfyUI, place styles.csv directly in that folder.
Example 2: Some custom nodes allow you to select the file path within their settings, giving you flexibility to organize your files.

Best Practice: Avoid renaming the CSV file unless you update the node’s file path reference. And if you edit the file, always save it in CSV (comma-separated values) format.

Step 4: Loading and Browsing Art Styles with the Styles CSV Loader Node

Now, let’s bring those styles into your workflow. Drag the Styles CSV loader node onto your canvas and load the CSV file.

How to Load Styles
1. Add the Styles CSV loader node to your workflow.
2. In the node’s settings, select or browse to your styles.csv file.
3. Once loaded, you’ll see a dropdown or list of categories,such as “Photo,” “Illustration,” “Painting,” “3D,” “Experimental,” and more.
4. Select any style from the list. The node exposes the corresponding positive and negative prompts as outputs.

Example 1: You want a “Fashion Art” look. Open the loader, pick “Fashion Art” from the category, and select a specific style like “Haute Couture Watercolor.”
Example 2: You’re experimenting with “Crafts.” Select “Papercut Collage” for a handcrafted, textured feel.

Tip: If you want your image to have no style applied, select the “no style” option provided in the loader. This is useful if you want to return to pure prompt-driven results after testing various styles.

Step 5: Connecting Style Prompts to Your Workflow (Widget to Input Conversion)

The next step is to blend your chosen art style with your own creative prompt. This requires passing the style’s prompts into the main workflow,and sometimes it’s not plug-and-play. You’ll need to convert widget fields (those little text boxes) on nodes to inputs that can accept connections.

Why Convert Widgets to Inputs?
Default prompt nodes in ComfyUI have text entry fields called widgets. To make them dynamic and connectable to other nodes (like your Styles loader), you convert these widgets into “inputs.” This turns your workflow from static to modular.

How to Do It
1. Right-click on the positive prompt node.
2. Select “Convert widget to input” and then “Convert text to input.”
3. Repeat for the negative prompt node.

Example 1: After converting, you can connect the positive prompt output from the Styles loader directly into your main prompt node, allowing automatic swapping of styles.
Example 2: If you later decide to automate prompt changes via scripting or another node, having inputs instead of static widgets keeps everything flexible.

Best Practice: Only convert widgets you actually want to control with another node. Leave others as widgets if you prefer manual entry for certain fields.

Step 6: Combining Prompts with the Conditioning Concat Node

You’ve got your style prompts and your own creative prompt. Now you need to blend them into a single “voice” that will guide the AI’s image generation. This is where the “conditioning concat” node comes in.

What is Conditioning Concat?
“Concat” stands for concatenation,joining two or more pieces of information together. In this context, it merges multiple prompt inputs into a single conditioning signal for the AI model.

Analogy: Combining two prompts is like mixing two flavors of ice cream. Each flavor remains distinct, but together they create a new, unique taste. Or imagine two rivers merging: each brings its own minerals, colors, and speed, but the combined flow is something else entirely.

How to Combine Positive Prompts
1. Connect your core positive prompt node (converted to input) and the positive prompt output from the Styles loader to the inputs of a “conditioning concat” node.
2. The output of the concat node is then connected to the K Sampler’s positive conditioning input.

How to Combine Negative Prompts
1. Repeat the process for negative prompts: Connect your workflow’s negative prompt node and the style’s negative prompt to another “conditioning concat” node.
2. The output goes to the K Sampler’s negative conditioning input.

Example 1: Your prompt: “A bustling futuristic city.” Style: “Retro Comic.” The concat node merges “A bustling futuristic city” with “halftone shading, bold lines, vintage comic colors,” creating a unique hybrid.
Example 2: Negative prompts: Your own “no watermarks, no text,” plus the style’s “no photorealism, no gradients.” The concat node ensures both sets of restrictions are respected.

Tip: If you want to fine-tune the balance, consider modifying the strength or order of prompts. Some styles may be “stronger” and dominate the final look,try placing your core prompt before or after the style prompt in the concat node inputs to see if the result changes.

Step 7: Experimenting with Multiple Art Styles

Why settle for one style? ComfyUI lets you stack and blend styles for even more surprising results. This is where creative experimentation takes off.

Combining Two Styles
1. Add a second Styles loader node and select a different style.
2. Use another “conditioning concat” node to merge all positive prompts: your own, style 1, and style 2.
3. Do the same for negative prompts.
4. Connect the final concatenated prompts to the K Sampler.

Example 1: Style 1: “Biomechanical Angel.” Style 2: “Watercolor Illustration.” Combine them with your prompt “A flying robot.” The image might blend metallic, intricate textures with soft, pastel washes.
Example 2: Style 1: “Photo Hyperrealism.” Style 2: “Crafts Papercut.” With a prompt like “A fantasy landscape,” you’ll get a mix of photorealistic lighting and handcrafted paper textures.

What Happens If You Reverse the Order?
Reversing the order of style prompts in the concat node generally produces a similar (sometimes almost identical) result, but try it for yourself. Some style combinations are sensitive to order, especially when one style is much “stronger” than another.

Tip: If one style overpowers the other, experiment by editing the prompts or adjusting their order. Some styles have more forceful prompt engineering and can dominate the output.

Step 8: Simplifying Your Workflow with Group Nodes

As your workflow grows,more nodes, more styles, more complexity,it can get visually overwhelming. ComfyUI lets you simplify this with “group nodes.”

What is a Group Node?
A group node bundles multiple nodes into a single, collapsible block. This cleans up your canvas and makes workflows easier to manage.

How to Create a Group Node
1. Hold Control and click to select all nodes you want to group (avoid the save image node, which is usually left outside).
2. Right-click and choose “convert to group node.”
3. Name your group (“Art Style Mixer” or similar).

Primary Benefit: The workflow interface becomes compact, less cluttered, and easier to navigate. You can focus on key parameters without being distracted by dozens of connecting lines.

Example 1: You group all nodes related to style loading and prompt concatenation. Now, your canvas only shows the grouped node and the save image node.
Example 2: For advanced workflows, you group each major section,prompt engineering, model loading, sampling,making troubleshooting and sharing much simpler.

Tip: While group nodes simplify visuals, editing the nodes inside a group requires “entering” the group. If you frequently adjust internal connections, consider keeping the group temporarily ungrouped until your workflow stabilizes.

Step 9: Editing and Maintaining the Styles CSV File

Sometimes you want to tweak or add new styles. The CSV file is editable, but caution is key.

How to Edit the Styles File
1. Open styles.csv in a text editor (Notepad, Notepad++, or a spreadsheet program).
2. Modify style names, positive or negative prompts as needed.
3. Save the file as CSV, not another format.

Best Practices:

• Always make a copy of the original file before editing.
• If something breaks or styles aren’t loading, redownload the original file and replace your edited version.
• Consider using dedicated CSV editors or style management tools to minimize formatting errors.

Example 1: You want to add a new style called “Vaporwave Neon.” Add a new row: “Vaporwave Neon, neon colors, retro grid, 80s synth aesthetic, no realistic shadows.”
Example 2: You notice a typo in “Impressionst Oil.” Simply correct it to “Impressionist Oil” and save.

Step 10: Downloading and Sharing Workflows

You’re not alone in this creative journey. There’s a thriving community sharing ready-made workflows, style packs, and troubleshooting tips.

Where to Find Workflows
Creators, including those behind the 300 styles tutorial, often share workflow files (in JSON format) on Discord servers or attached to their videos. Look for channels named things like “pixaroma workflows” or “comfyui-resources.”

How to Use a Downloaded Workflow
1. Download the JSON file.
2. In ComfyUI, use the import function to load the workflow.
3. Check that your styles CSV file and any custom nodes are correctly installed and referenced.

Example 1: You download a workflow that demonstrates combined style application. Open it in ComfyUI, load your styles CSV, and start experimenting immediately.
Example 2: Share your own workflow by exporting it as JSON and posting it to a community channel,helping others learn from your setup.

Tip: If a workflow you downloaded isn’t working, double-check that all required custom nodes and files are present. Most issues are due to missing dependencies or incorrect file paths.

Creative Experimentation: Pushing the Boundaries

This toolkit isn’t just for routine tasks. It’s an invitation to play, combine, and invent. Here’s how to go beyond the basics:

Experiment with Categories
Try combining styles from the same category or compatible categories for harmonious results.

• Photo + Fashion Art = editorial photography vibes
• Vector + Illustration = sharp, cartoon-like icons
• Painting + 3D = game concept art with painterly depth

Push into Contrast
Deliberately select opposing styles:

• Hyperrealistic Photo + Abstract Experimental = surreal, mind-bending visuals
• Minimalist Vector + Baroque Painting = strange, hybrid compositions

Adjust Core Prompt Strength
If a style is overpowering, strengthen your core prompt or edit the style’s prompt for balance. Sometimes subtlety works better than piling on more adjectives.

Example 1: You use the “Biomechanical Angel” style with the prompt “A serene forest.” The result is an uncanny blend of organic and mechanical, perfect for sci-fi book covers.
Example 2: You try “Papercut Collage” with “A futuristic city at dusk,” giving your image a handcrafted, tactile feel that stands out from standard digital renders.

Tip: The more you experiment, the more you’ll develop an intuition for which style combinations surprise, delight, or clash. Don’t be afraid to try wild pairings,the best discoveries are often accidental.

Troubleshooting and Problem-Solving

Every creative workflow encounters obstacles. Here’s how to diagnose,and fix,common issues with styles and nodes.

Styles Aren’t Loading?

• Check the file location. Is styles.csv in the correct folder?
• Make sure the CSV was saved correctly (no extra spaces, commas, or formatting errors).
• Restart ComfyUI after installing new custom nodes.

Prompts Not Combining?

• Ensure you’ve converted widgets to inputs on prompt nodes.
• Check that all nodes are properly connected,no gaps between loader, concat, and K Sampler.

Image Output Looks Wrong?

• Some styles are very “strong” and may overpower your prompt. Try choosing a subtler style or editing the prompt directly.
• Reverse the order of style prompts in the concat node for a slightly different effect.

Errors After Editing the CSV?

• Restore your backup or redownload the original CSV file.
• Validate the CSV format in a spreadsheet app to check for accidental line breaks or misplaced commas.

Example 1: You edited the CSV and suddenly styles won’t load. Restoring the backup instantly fixes the problem.
Example 2: You notice that connecting the loader to the negative prompt node doesn’t work. After converting the widget to input, the connection succeeds.

Tip: The more you practice with nodes, the more comfortable you’ll become diagnosing issues. If you’re truly stuck, download a working workflow from the community and compare node-by-node with your own.

Where can I obtain the file containing the art styles?

You can download the CSV file with the art styles from Google Drive.
The download link is included in the video description. The file contains names of styles along with positive and negative prompts that can be seamlessly integrated into your ComfyUI workflow.

How do I prepare ComfyUI to use these art styles?

After downloading the CSV file, place it in your main ComfyUI folder, then install the "Styles CSV Loader" custom node.
Use the ComfyUI Manager’s custom nodes manager to find and install "Styles CSV Loader." Restart ComfyUI, and you’ll see a new "Load Styles CSV" node, enabling you to load and work with the styles from the CSV file.

How are the positive and negative prompts from the styles integrated into a workflow?

The "conditioning concat" node joins your input prompts with those from the selected art style.
You combine your own positive prompt with the positive prompt from the chosen style and do the same for negative prompts. This merged conditioning is then fed into the K sampler node, guiding the image generation to adopt the selected style’s characteristics.

Can I use multiple art styles simultaneously?

Yes, you can combine two or more art styles in a single workflow.
By using extra "conditioning concat" nodes, you merge the prompts from different styles with your base prompts. This lets you blend stylistic influences, such as combining a "watercolor" look with "cyberpunk" elements, resulting in unique outputs.

How can I simplify the ComfyUI interface after setting up the workflow?

Convert groups of nodes into a single "group node" to tidy up your workflow.
Select all desired nodes (except "save image"), right-click, and choose "convert to group node." You can then name and organize this group, making the interface cleaner and easier to manage, especially as workflows grow more complex.

What kind of art styles are included in the CSV file?

The CSV includes a wide variety of categorized art styles, making it easy to find the right fit for your needs.
Categories include painting, illustration, vector, photographic, experimental, design, crafts, fashion, art, and 3D. You can browse or search for styles using the "Load Styles CSV" node in ComfyUI.

Can I edit the art style file?

Yes, the CSV file is editable with any text editor, but always make a backup before modifying.
Focus on changing the prompt text within quotes, and avoid altering the structure or column headers. Using dedicated style editors for Automatic1111 or Forge UI can also help prevent errors.

How is the "Styles CSV loader" custom node obtained and installed in ComfyUI?

Install "Styles CSV loader" through the ComfyUI Manager’s custom nodes section.
Search for "load Styles," click install, then restart ComfyUI. The new node will then be available in your node library for style integration.

What information is contained within the downloaded Styles CSV file?

The Styles CSV file lists each style’s name, positive prompt, and negative prompt.
Each row corresponds to a different style, enabling quick selection and integration into your workflow for more consistent and varied outputs.

What is the purpose of the "conditioning concat" node in combining prompts in ComfyUI?

The "conditioning concat" node merges multiple prompts into a single conditioning input.
This allows you to blend your own creative direction with stylistic influences from the loaded styles, making the output more tailored to your requirements.

How are the positive prompts from the main workflow and the selected art style combined before being sent to the K sampler?

Both positive prompts are connected to a "conditioning concat" node, which outputs a single, merged signal.
This combined prompt is then sent to the K sampler’s positive input for image generation, ensuring the final output reflects both your description and the selected style.

How are the negative prompts from the main workflow and the selected art style combined?

Negative prompts from both sources are merged using another "conditioning concat" node.
This output is linked to the K sampler’s negative input, helping to avoid unwanted elements in your generated image.

How do I convert multiple nodes into a single "group node" to simplify the workflow interface?

Select all relevant nodes (holding Control), right-click, and choose "convert to group node."
Give it a descriptive name, and you’ll be able to manage internal organization and visible elements, making large workflows easier to handle.

What is the primary benefit of using a group node in ComfyUI workflow?

Group nodes make complex workflows visually cleaner and easier to manage.
They help you avoid clutter, streamline navigation, and make collaboration smoother, especially for business teams working on shared projects.

How can users access and download the workflows demonstrated in the video series?

Workflows are shared via the creator’s Discord server, typically as downloadable JSON files.
Join the Discord using the link in the YouTube channel description, navigate to channels like "pixaroma workflows," and download the files for your own projects.

What happens if you reverse the order of two styles being combined in the workflow?

Reversing the order of two styles combined produces nearly identical results.
Some subtle differences may occur, but the impact is generally minor. This flexibility allows you to experiment without worrying about losing your intended effect.

What is recommended if a user wants to avoid the effect of any art style after loading the Styles CSV file?

Select the "no style" option in the "Load Styles CSV" node.
This ensures your workflow ignores additional style prompts, so your outputs are only influenced by your own positive and negative prompts.

Why is prompt concatenation important in advanced image generation workflows?

Prompt concatenation allows you to layer multiple influences in one generation step.
Think of it as mixing flavors: your core prompt is the "ice cream," and each style or modifier you add is a "topping." Concatenation gives you control over how these flavors blend, leading to outputs that reflect both your vision and the nuanced characteristics of chosen styles. This method opens up creative possibilities, such as producing images that are simultaneously "impressionist" and "futuristic."

How do custom nodes like "Styles CSV Loader" extend ComfyUI's capabilities?

Custom nodes let you add features not available in the default ComfyUI installation.
For example, "Styles CSV Loader" makes it possible to load and apply external art styles, which isn't possible out-of-the-box. This flexibility allows you to tailor ComfyUI to your workflow needs, whether for business branding, product design, or creative experiments.

What are the drawbacks of using group nodes in ComfyUI workflows?

While group nodes simplify the visual layout, they can make internal edits slightly more cumbersome.
If you need to change connections or add nodes inside a group, you’ll have to open and manage its contents separately. Keeping your group nodes organized and clearly labeled helps reduce confusion later.

What creative possibilities are unlocked by combining multiple art styles in ComfyUI?

Combining styles enables unique visual results, such as merging "vintage photography" with "digital illustration."
This approach is useful for businesses wanting custom marketing visuals, concept artists seeking fresh aesthetics, or anyone aiming for one-of-a-kind outputs that stand out from generic images.

How should I approach troubleshooting and problem-solving when building workflows in ComfyUI?

Break down your workflow into sections, test connections incrementally, and check node inputs/outputs.
If an image isn’t generating as expected, review each node’s settings, ensure the correct prompts are connected, and consult log messages for hints. Editing the styles file or reconnecting nodes often resolves common issues.

Can I control the strength or influence of each art style applied?

While the style prompts influence the output, ComfyUI doesn’t natively offer a "strength slider" for styles.
However, you can manually adjust the prompt text or experiment by combining strong and subtle styles, or even editing the CSV to create lighter versions of a style prompt.

What’s the safest way to edit the Styles CSV file for custom needs?

Always make a backup before editing and use a plain text editor to avoid formatting issues.
Only change text within quotes and avoid altering the structure, headers, or comma placements. Testing your edits in a small workflow before using them widely is a good practice.

What are common misconceptions about using art styles in ComfyUI?

One misconception is that styles always override your main prompt,they actually blend with it.
Another is that you can only use one style at a time, but combining several is possible and often yields better results. Also, the style’s influence depends on both the prompt and the model used.

Are these styles compatible with all Stable Diffusion models?

Most styles work well with SDXL and other major Stable Diffusion models, but results can vary.
If a style appears off, try adjusting the prompt or using a different model checkpoint. Experimenting helps identify the best combinations for your needs.

How can businesses use ComfyUI art styles in real-world projects?

Businesses can quickly generate branded visuals, marketing materials, or concept art tailored to their audience.
For example, a fashion retailer could use "runway photography" and "minimalist illustration" styles to produce campaign imagery, while a tech startup might blend "cyberpunk" and "3D render" for product mockups.

How do I save and share my custom ComfyUI workflows with colleagues?

Export your workflow as a JSON file from ComfyUI’s file menu.
Colleagues can import the file into their own ComfyUI installations. Including documentation or screenshots helps others understand your node organization and style choices.

What’s the best way to back up my styles and workflows?

Keep copies of your CSV files and exported workflows in a secure cloud folder or version control system.
Regular backups prevent loss of work due to accidental edits or system failures, and allow you to revert to previous versions if needed.

If new styles are released, how do I update my Styles CSV file?

Download the updated CSV and replace your old file, or manually add new rows as needed.
Always back up your existing file before making changes, and restart ComfyUI after updates for the new styles to appear.

Can I search for specific art styles within ComfyUI?

Yes, the "Load Styles CSV" node lets you browse and search styles by name or category.
This makes it easy to find exactly what you need, especially when working with a large library of options.

Is it possible to tweak the style prompts on the fly within ComfyUI?

You can’t edit the loaded style text directly inside ComfyUI, but you can edit the CSV and reload it.
Alternatively, you can use additional prompt nodes to add your own modifiers or adjustments during workflow construction.

Why are negative prompts important when applying art styles?

Negative prompts help you avoid unwanted elements that a style might introduce.
For example, if a "vintage" style prompt tends to add film grain, you could use a negative prompt like "no grain, clean" to refine the output.

What does selecting "no style" in the Styles node actually do?

Choosing "no style" disables any additional stylistic influence from the CSV.
Your generated image will be based solely on your main positive and negative prompts, providing a neutral baseline for comparison.

Is the Styles CSV file compatible with other interfaces like Automatic1111 or Forge UI?

The CSV was originally designed for Forge UI and Automatic1111, and can often be used in those platforms too.
However, always check for any formatting differences or required fields specific to each interface.

How can teams collaborate effectively on ComfyUI workflows with art styles?

Share exported workflow files, maintain a central repository for styles, and use clear naming conventions for group nodes.
Teams can also leave notes or use version control systems to track changes and improvements to shared projects.

What should I do if styles are not loading or appearing in ComfyUI?
