# Flow Editor The Flow Editor is the visual workspace where you build and test flows in Contextual. It provides a drag-and-drop palette of nodes, a canvas for wiring logic, and a right sidebar for tools like SolutionAI. ## Key Areas * **Left palette** - Browse node categories and drag nodes onto the canvas. * **Canvas** - Arrange nodes, connect wires, and edit logic. * **Right sidebar** - Access SolutionAI and other panels. For help using the assistant panel, see [SolutionAI in the Flow Editor](/documentation-and-resources/components-and-data/flows/node-red-flow-editor/solution-ai.md). --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
