Workflow Environment
Workflow app (UI) connects to an Inference Server to:
Fetch available Workflow Blocks (including their IO definitions, icons, etc.)
Run the Workflow (using the
Runbutton). In that case, UI sends over workflow definition and input (eg video file) to the server, which does workflow execution and returns back the results to the UI.
By default, Workflow app (UI) will connect to Serverless API, which can be found on the top-left corner of the Workflow editor:

If you click on the "Serverless API" text, you'll be able to select which Infernece Server you want to connect to:

Troubleshooting
Local Device
In case you self-host the inference server on localhost , you might get a "Error connecting" message. Reasons we have seen this happen:
You're using Brave browser which blocks localhost requests. In this case, turn off Brave Shields (the lion button next to the URL)
Privacy extensions (like NoScript)
Enterprise browser policies
