# How do I Manage a Node?

Get to know how to copy or duplicate a node along with its settings, delete nodes, and understand the concept of lists in nodes for managing multiple data items

### **Copy / Duplicate a Node**

-   Log in to your workspace.
    
-   Select the node you want to duplicate.
    
-   Press **Ctrl + C** to copy it.
    
-   Click on the canvas and press **Ctrl + V** to paste it.
    

**_Important: Duplicating a node also duplicates all of its current connections._**  

### Delete a Node

-   Select the node you want to remove.
    
-   Press the **Delete (Del)** key on your keyboard.  
    **OR**
    
-   Click the **three vertical dots** to open the settings menu.
    
-   Choose **Delete Node** to remove it.

### **Manage or edit a node:**

-   Select the node in your workspace.
    
-   Click the **three vertical dots** to open the dropdown menu.
    
-   From here, you can choose:
    

**Hide:** Temporarily makes the node invisible in the workspace. The node still exists and works—it's just hidden from view.

**Disable:** Turns the node off. It will not run or affect the model until you enable it again.

**Learn More:** Opens detailed information about the node, including what it does and how to use it.

-   **Shortest List:** When connecting lists, this option forces the node to process only up to the shortest list length.
    
-   **Longest List:** Processes data based on the longest list available; shorter lists repeat values to match.
    
-   **Cross Reference:** Combines all items from connected lists in every possible pairing (like a grid). Useful for generating multiple variations.
