# Adding Nodes to the Schematic

You can add as many nodes as you need to create complex effects. Since Batch is designed to match your workflow, you add nodes in a similar order as you would by going from module to module.

To add a node to the schematic:

1. From the View box, select BatchSchm or swipe the bar at the left to display the node bins.
   TipPress Ctrl+Tab to display the node bins quickly.
2. Do one of the following:
   - Drag a node from a node bin and place it anywhere in the schematic.
   - Double-click a node in the bin. If a node in the schematic is selected, the node appears to the right of the selected node.

   To use the node in the process tree, connect it to other nodes or clips. See Connecting Nodes.

3. In the schematic, double-click the node to access its module. For example, double-click an Action node to access the full Action module.
   NoteSome nodes require you to enter their module by clicking the Edit button. Once you have performed your edits, click Return to return to Batch with the latest unprocessed setup for the selected node.

Repeat this procedure for all the nodes you set up in your process tree.
