Summary

Comfy Cloud now has a deployment switcher in the account menu: a workspace member can choose which developer-platform deployment the browser runs on, and a workspace owner can set the workspace default. The docs described deploying a Release but stopped at "run it from your app", so the in-editor side of a deployment had no documentation at all.

This adds a section to Deploying ComfyUI covering:

  • Where the switcher lives (account menu, under the workspace selector), that it exists only in Comfy Cloud, and that the editor shows Comfy Cloud under Running on or the workspace's default deployment when an owner set one.
  • What a row is: a deployment in the current workspace, labeled with its Build name and the Release it runs now, or its own name with the Build and Release on the second line.
  • Why picking reloads the editor (node catalog and custom-node JavaScript are fixed at boot) and that queued workflows then run on that deployment.
  • Following the owner's updates: a deployment keeps its address, and the switcher offers Reload when it moves to a new Release; a pick that disappears falls back to Comfy Cloud.
  • The deployment link form https://cloud.comfy.org/?workspace=<workspace id>&deployment=<deployment id>, and when a link is refused (workspace you cannot open, deployment gone or in another workspace).
  • Workspace defaults for owners: Set as workspace default appears after picking a non-default deployment, Clear workspace default while a default is set.
  • The empty state: This workspace has no deployments yet. Deploy a Release on the Developer Platform first.

Fact sources

  • ComfyUI_frontend src/platform/workspace/components/DeploymentSwitcher.vue, DeploymentSwitcherList.vue, DeploymentSwitcherOwnerFooter.vue, src/platform/workspace/composables/useDeploymentLabels.ts, useDeploymentUrlLoader.ts, src/platform/workspace/stores/deploymentPickStore.ts on origin/main.
  • Feature PR FE-2434 feat(workspace): a deployment switcher under the workspace selector ComfyUI_frontend#19965 (FE-2434, BE-20294), shipped in v1.59.0 through the cloud/1.57 backport #21048.
  • UI labels quoted from src/locales/en/main.json (deploymentSwitcher.*).
  • Deployment vocabulary (Build, Release, Deployment) matches the existing Comfy API deployment guide.

Every claim was checked against the frontend source before the final push, including the owner footer visibility rules, the Use the workspace default condition, and the refusal cases.

Languages

EN plus zh/ja/ko in the same commit, pnpm translate:sync-hash refreshed for the page. Heading parity checked across all four files (3 H2, 2 H3 each). No em dashes. No nav change, and no images: the page is a text-only developer page.

@lin-bot23 for review.

📝 Walkthrough

The deployment guide now explains how to select and use workspace deployments in the Comfy Cloud editor. Japanese, Korean, and Chinese translations include the new instructions and updated translation metadata.

The guide and translations describe the deployment switcher, selection and link behavior, feature availability, and workspace default controls. Translation metadata was also updated.

Readers may be unable to follow the deployment-default instructions as written. Update the four guides to match the current switcher; the remaining risk is limited to these instructions.

Checked the quoted UI labels against deploymentSwitcher.* in src/locales/en/main.json on ComfyUI_frontend main: Running on, Comfy Cloud, Use the workspace default, Set as workspace default, Clear workspace default, Reload, and the empty-state sentence all match verbatim. The behaviour described (reload on pick, fall back to Comfy Cloud when the pick is gone, link refusal) is consistent with the pickGone, releaseChanged and linkRefused strings.

Optional: there is also a "Could not check which deployment this editor runs on." state (lookupUnavailable) that the page does not mention. Fine to leave out. No blocking issues.

Heads-up from the daily code-sync check: ComfyUI_frontend commit 6d5b6fd621 (feat(workspace): Running on moves to an engine button in the Run bar, #21148, merged 2026-10-22) moves Running on out of the account menu and into an engine button in the Run bar, between the drag handle and Run. It opens a compact Run on list of Comfy Cloud and the workspace's deployments.

This PR currently places the switcher in the account menu (development/deploy/overview), so that location becomes stale once that frontend build ships. The account-menu workspace selector it anchors on is a different control from the new engine button. Worth updating all four languages before merge.

Added a capture marker in the English page at development/deploy/overview.mdx, right after the bullet list describing the rows:

{/* screenshot: account menu open in the Comfy Cloud editor, showing the deployment switcher with Running on Comfy Cloud and the workspace deployments */}

I cannot capture it from here: the switcher only renders for accounts with the feature enabled, so it needs a logged-in Cloud session with a workspace that has deployments. The marker is greppable with grep -rn "screenshot:" development/deploy, and I will swap in the real PNG under images/deploy/ as soon as it exists. If you would rather ship the page now and add the image in a follow-up, the marker is invisible on the rendered page and safe to merge.

- **Comfy Cloud** uses Comfy's own node set and is where the editor starts unless the workspace has a default deployment.
- Each other row is a deployment in the current workspace, labeled with its Build name and the Release it runs now. A deployment with its own name shows that name instead, with the Build and Release on the second line.
- **Use the workspace default** appears when the workspace has a default deployment and this browser picked one of its own. It drops the pick and reloads onto the workspace default.

Replace the obsolete workspace-default action.

The new switcher has no Use the workspace default item. When a browser has its own pick, selecting the default deployment’s row makes it follow the workspace default. That action does not always reload the editor. Update this instruction and its three translations so readers can remove their own pick. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

- **Set as workspace default** appears after you pick a deployment that is not already the default. It makes that deployment the starting point for every member who has not picked one.
- **Clear workspace default** appears while a default is set, and puts members without a pick back on Comfy Cloud.

Document the current owner controls.

The new switcher does not show Set as workspace default after an owner picks a deployment or offer Clear workspace default as a separate action. Owners set a default by selecting a deployment in the Workspace default submenu; they clear it by selecting Comfy Cloud there. Update both steps and their three translations so owners can complete the documented task. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
