## Adding Nodes to Your Workflow

Once you've created a new workflow, you can add different types of nodes:

1. Click the **Add Node** button at the top of the workflow canvas
2. Select from the available node types:
   * **Add Input** - For specifying data sources
   * **Add Conversion** - For data format transformations
   * **Add Output** - For defining output destinations

## Connecting Nodes

After adding nodes to your workflow:

1. Click and drag from the output port (right side) of one node
2. Connect it to the input port (left side) of another node
3. This creates a data flow connection between the nodes

The workflow canvas will show your connected nodes with visual connections indicating the data flow path.
