Keeping Organized
As you work, it’s important to keep the node trees that you create tidy to facilitate a clear understanding of what’s happening. Fortunately, the Fusion Node Editor provides a variety of methods and options to help you with this, found within the Options and Arrange Tools submenus of the Node Editor contextual menu.
Status Bar
The Status bar in the lower-left corner of the Fusion window shows you a variety of up-to-date information about things you’re selecting and what’s happening in Fusion. For example, hovering the pointer over a node displays information about that node in the Status bar.
