Node Templates

// Reads one Drive file exactly as it was uploaded (a PDF, a PowerPoint or Word file, an image, an archive or any other type) and outputs it as a File, for nodes that take the file itself rather than its text: e.g. Snapshot, to turn a PDF into page images. Also outputs its MIME type and size. For the text of a document or a transcript, use Drive Content Reader instead.

// Publishes a customer PowerPoint master (.pptx or .potx from Drive) as this workspace's layout library. Extracts every layout with its slots, capacities and theme, applies the curator's layout curation, renders each layout's background through document-render, and outputs the library handle, the enabled layouts as a compact text list for choosing each slide's layout, the catalog, the master normalized to .pptx, and the background and thumbnail images. A deck in this workspace wires Library, Master and Backgrounds straight to its slide nodes; a deck elsewhere reads the library through a Layout Library. The library is this node's latest completed run; a failed run keeps the previous one. One Brand Master per workspace.

// Reads the layout library a Brand Master node publishes in another workspace: that node's latest completed run. Outputs the library handle (the enabled layouts with their slots and capacities, plus the library CSS) for Slide Generators, the Presentation Composer and the PPTX Builder, the master as a .pptx file, the layout backgrounds, and the enabled layouts as a compact text list for choosing each slide's layout. Run it again to pick up the curator's latest publication.

// Save a workspace file or text into a Drive folder

// Reads all documents from a Drive folder recursively. Returns document references that can be passed to a Drive Content Reader. Also returns every file with its sub-folder path, so a loop can save results into the same sub-folders elsewhere.

// Translates one Drive document into another language keeping its page layout (columns, tables, figures) and returns a translated PDF, a bilingual PDF for review (each original page beside its translation, on by default), and a report. Word, PowerPoint and text uploads are translated from the PDF Drive made of them, so they also come back as a PDF, never as an editable file. The run succeeds only when every passage is translated and the result passes the checks for leftover untranslated text and changed numbers; otherwise it fails with a clear message naming the problem and the pages, and returns no PDF. An optional Style says in your own words how the translation should read (formal, plain language, technical). Scanned PDFs (no text layer) are refused. Text inside pictures is not translated. For a text-only reading copy, use the Drive Translate menu instead. To keep the result in Drive, connect it to Save File.

// Generates a single presentation slide from text content and an instruction. Connect multiple Slide Generator outputs to a Presentation Composer to build a full presentation.

// Assembles slide sections into a complete presentation. Outputs a self-contained HTML file viewable in any browser. With the Emblema theme, an optional brand kit and logo re-skin the deck in your brand. With a Layout Library connected, the deck takes that library's look and canvas size.

// Turns a designed deck into a PowerPoint master for a brand: every slide of the Presentation Composer's deck becomes one slide layout, its look as the layout background and its title, text, lists, picture, table and slide number as placeholders that keep the slide's fonts, sizes and colours; a preview deck, one slide per layout with its sample text, shows the master as PowerPoint draws it. Design the slides with Slide Generators in layout design mode (a layout name on each), then save the master to Drive and select it in a Brand Master to publish it as a layout library.

// Turns one document into images, one per page, to show, check or pass on page by page. Connect ONE source: a PDF; a PowerPoint (.pptx), drawn by LibreOffice (fonts can differ slightly from PowerPoint, hidden slides are left out); an image (PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF), passed through as it is; or the Presentation Composer's HTML deck. Width sets how wide each page image is (the height follows the page); Max Pages caps how many pages become images; Pages reports how many pages the source has. For a picture of a 3D model, use 3D Snapshot instead.

// Collects multiple inputs into an ordered array. Add items dynamically and drag to reorder. Carries files through when item ports receive image/video/audio outputs.

// Reads an image from Drive and outputs it as an Image file, plus its metadata: width, height and aspect ratio (EXIF orientation applied, so portrait vs landscape is reliable), MIME type, file size and camera EXIF (make, model, capture time; GPS is never output). Metadata is best-effort: if it cannot be read (e.g. HEIC), the image is still output and Warning says why.
