# Toolbar

The toolbar sits on the left of the Builder and gives you quick access to the most common actions while building flows.

### Add node

The orange **+** button opens the node picker. This is how you add building blocks to your flow.

The picker is organized into sections to help you navigate capabilities.

Use the search bar at the top to find any node by name — this is the fastest way to add nodes when you know what you need.

### Assets

Opens the asset gallery where you can browse, search, and manage all the visuals and files generated by your flows. From here you can drag assets directly onto the canvas, preview outputs, or download them.

You can also find all the assets generated on Pletor and use them in your work.

***

### Brain

Opens the **Brain** panel: your brand's living memory. Browse its Memories and Assets, then drag a Memory onto the canvas. It lands as a node synced live with the Brain, so any edit you make there flows back into every system that uses it.

One brand, one Brain. See more here: [Brain](/build-your-system/brain.md).

***

### Templates

Browse pre-built flow templates for common use cases. Templates provide a ready‑made node chain that you can use as‑is, customize to fit your workflow, or treat as learning material.

This is the fastest way to get started.

***

### Learn Pletor

Opens learning resources directly inside the Builder — tutorials, walkthroughs, and tips to help you get the most out of the platform. Useful when you're building and want guidance without leaving the canvas.

***

### Ask AI

Opens Pletor's AI assistant. Describe what you want to build and the Copilot will help you — suggesting nodes, explaining how features work, or helping you troubleshoot your flow.

### Other actions

#### Change flow name

The top-left corner shows your flow's name. Click it to rename your flow. The dropdown next to the Pletor logo lets you switch between flows or navigate back to the dashboard.

#### Run

Executes your full flow chain from left to right. Each node runs in sequence, passing its output to the next connected node. The button is greyed out until your flow has at least one runnable node connected.

The dropdown next to **Run** gives you two modes:

* **Single run** — runs your flow once, start to finish. The default.
* **Batch run** — runs the same flow across many input rows at once, so you can produce a full set of variations or a whole catalog in one pass. See [Batch](/automate/batch.md).

You can also run individual nodes by selecting a node and clicking the **Run** button inside its configuration panel, useful for testing one step at a time.

#### Version history

Access the work history for this flow. View previous versions, either via autosave or manually saved checkpoints.

#### Save in Version History

Saves the current state of your flow. Pletor auto-saves as you work, but you can trigger a manual save here when you want to capture a specific checkpoint in your work.

A new version of your flow is also created automatically whenever you deploy an App or share it.

#### Deploy as App

Turn your Flow into an App. See more here: [Apps](/automate/apps.md).

#### Share

Share your flow with teammates or make it available to anyone.
