- Add node. Ckick on it to add a child node. You can choose a node type in the submenu.
- Rename. Change the node name.
- Duplicate. Make a copy of the node. The new node will be named NodeName [Copy [number]].
- Remove node. Use it to delete the node.
- Run. Run the node.
- Share. Share the node. Note that the link with information about the node will be created in the clipboard.
- Show in explorer. Open the folder with the node in the file manager.
You can open the node with a double-click on it in the project tree. A Folder node tab looks like this:

In the screenshot you can see the following parts of the tab:
- 1.The Run button to run the nodes under the Folder node.
- 2.The control panel
- 3.The Headers button to specify inheritable HTTP headers.
- 4.
- 5.Child nodes area
- 6.Checks if the node has a valid SSL certificate. It is used as an inherited parameter in RequestStep nodes.
- 7.Authorization.
Let's describe these parts in detail.
The Run button function is described above. It's worth mentioning that when running a node the button looks different:

You can stop the node by clicking Abort.
