What is the File Node?

The File Node allows users to upload a file to the flow and use it as an input to the LLM. This node is not a replacement for the Documents Node, which is a more powerful node for creating a document knowledge base for your LLM.

Expose as Input: This toggle displays the file node as an available input on the user-facing interface.
