# Output

## Summary

The Output Node marks the final result of a workflow or app. It takes a single connection from wherever your workflow ends, and displays that result — with playback controls for video — in a dedicated results panel. It's part of the new **App** node category, alongside an **Input** node for defining an app's starting parameters (Input wasn't fully verified during this pass — not yet documented on its own page).

## How to Use

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add the Node">
    Click the Add (+) button and select **Output** from the App node category.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect your final result">
    Link the Output node's single input to whatever node produces your workflow's finished result.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run">
    Once run, the result appears in the Output node's panel — with a play control if it's a video — instead of just wherever the generating node left it on the canvas.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Output is distinct from the [Export](/workflows/utilities) node under Essentials. Export is for saving/downloading a result; Output is for designating and previewing a workflow's designated final result, particularly relevant when building a published App.
</Note>

## Sample Use Cases

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Marking the finished result in a multi-step workflow" defaultOpen>
    In a workflow with several generation and edit steps, connect Output to the last node so anyone running the workflow sees a clear, single final result rather than having to trace the canvas.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Building a published App">
    Pair Output with Input when building a workflow into an App — Input defines what a user provides, Output defines what they get back. See [App Builder](/workflows/app-builder).
