Definition: ControlNet Conditioning

Spatial guidance that locks pose, depth, edges, or line art during diffusion generation.

ComfyUI applies ControlNet directly to the positive and negative CONDITIONING streams rather than patching the checkpoint permanently.

How to tune this in your ComfyUI workflow

Every parameter in ComfyUI is exposed directly on its node rather than hidden behind global settings tabs. You can inspect or override this behavior per pass in ComfyUI Studio.
