What it does

Display Object takes the incoming item, exactly as it arrives, and shows it in a panel in the bottom-right corner of the active tab. The data is shown as a JSON tree you can expand and collapse. The panel has buttons to maximize, minimize and close it.

• There is nothing to map: the node always shows its input. Only Title is set by you; when it is empty, a default title is shown.
• Only one panel is shown at a time: running the node again replaces it.
• The panel belongs to the page: it disappears when the page reloads or you navigate away.
• This is an end node: it has no output, so nothing runs after it on this branch.

When to use it

• Look at what a page node or an AI node returned while you build a workflow, right on the page.
• Show a small structured result (a record you extracted, a list of links) to the person running the workflow.
• For formatted text, use Display Markdown. To inspect runs without touching the page, open the node’s output in the editor instead.

Inputs and settings

Setting	Type	What it does
Title	Text	The title of the displayed object.

Title can use expressions, for example Links found on {{ $('Get Page Metadata').title }}.

Outputs

This node has no output port: nothing runs after it on this branch.

Dependencies and credentials

None. This node needs no connection and has no slots for other nodes.

Example workflow

1. Run the workflow from a Hotkey trigger on any article.
2. Add Get Page Metadata.
3. Add Display Object with Title = Page info to see the title, description, language and sharing tags of the page in one panel.

Common issues

• Only the last item is shown. The node runs once per incoming item, and each run replaces the panel. Combine the items first with Aggregate to show them all in one panel.
• No panel appears. The panel is drawn on the active tab. Make sure the page you want is the active tab when the node runs; browser settings pages and the extension store cannot show it.
• The node fails outside the extension. This node runs in the browser extension; install it or run the workflow from the extension.
