Once you've launched your ComfyUI instance on InstaSD, you'll have access to several features that allow you to manage, monitor, and interact with your instance effectively. This guide will walk you through the various options available in the InstaSD interface to help you get the most out of your workflow.


1. Upload Models and Manage Files on the Instance

At the bottom of the interface, the File Explorer lets you manage the files on your instance. You can upload model files, scripts, and other necessary resources directly to the instance. Here’s how to use it:

  • How to Use:

    • Click the File Explorer icon (first from the left) to open the file management system.

    • Upload model files or navigate through directories to organize your files.

    • You can view, add, or remove files as needed to ensure your workflow runs smoothly.


2. Access Logs

The Logs section provides essential information about the operation of your instance. This area displays messages, errors, and other notifications generated by the workflow.

  • How to Use:

    • Click the Logs icon (second from the left) to view the logs for your active instance.

    • Use this to troubleshoot or monitor the workflow’s performance, identifying any potential issues or errors.


3. View Usage Stats

The Usage Stats section provides an overview of your instance’s performance and cost. This helps you track the uptime and all-time costs associated with running your workflow.

  • How to Use:

    • Click the Usage Stats icon (third from the left) to view the details of your instance’s usage.

    • You’ll see the current uptime of your instance as well as total costs accumulated over time.


4. Save Changes

When making changes to your workflow, it’s important to save them properly to ensure they are applied correctly. InstaSD provides a dedicated button for saving changes to your workflow, which differs from the default Save button in ComfyUI.

  • Important:

    • Always use the Save Changes button (fourth from the left) on the InstaSD interface.

    • Do not use the default Save button within ComfyUI, as it may not save your changes properly within the InstaSD environment.


5. Power Off the Instance

When you’re done working with your ComfyUI instance, you can turn it off to stop the associated charges. The Power Off button allows you to easily shut down your instance when you no longer need it.

  • How to Use:

    • Click the Power Off button (fifth from the left) to turn off your instance.

    • Charges for the instance stop immediately once it’s powered off.
