Database modes

There are three DB modes available:
ModeDescription
DB: Channel (1day cache)Uses cached channel information with a one-day validity period. This is the default mode.
DB: LocalUses information stored locally in ComfyUI-Manager. Updated only when you update ComfyUI-Manager.
DB: Channel (remote)Retrieves information from the remote channel, always displaying the latest list.
For custom node developers testing their nodes in custom-node-list.json, use the Local mode.

​
Channel indicator

If a red background Channel indicator appears at the top, it means you’re not using the default channel. Many custom nodes may not appear in this state.
