Snippet Library
The Snippet Library is a powerful feature for saving and reusing graph templates. This feature is available on the Studio plan and higher.
What is a Snippet?
A snippet is a saved portion of a graph that you can reuse across different pipelines:
- Save Time: Reuse common patterns instead of rebuilding from scratch
- Share Templates: Share workflows with team members
- Build Libraries: Create collections of reusable components
Accessing the Snippet Library
- Click the “Snippets” tab in the left sidebar
- If you’re on the Individual plan, you’ll see an upgrade prompt
- Studio plan users see their saved snippets

- Build your graph (or selection of nodes)
- Select the nodes you want to save as a snippet
- Click “Save as Snippet” on the top right of the canvas
