docs: rename component categories for 1.7 by mendonk · Pull Request #10645 · langflow-ai/langflow

mendonk · 2025-11-18T16:30:21Z

Preview
Change component categories and pages for 1.7, see #10180
This is a lazy version that creates minimal new pages, renames existing pages, and moves the components around, with the left nav reshuffled.

Links are updated.

Further component changes in 1.7 will be based on this PR.

Update in-app component links
Add knowledge components to files components
Concatenate Web/RSS/News search into single component
Add dataset to toolset (and then make it legacy chore: remove component: dataframe to toolset #10643)

Tip

📝 Customizable high-level summaries are now available in beta!

You can now customize how CodeRabbit generates the high-level summary in your pull requests — including its content, structure, tone, and formatting.

Provide your own instructions using the high_level_summary_instructions setting.
Format the summary however you like (bullet lists, tables, multi-section layouts, contributor stats, etc.).
Use high_level_summary_in_walkthrough to move the summary from the description to the walkthrough section.

Example instruction:

"Divide the high-level summary into five sections:

📝 Description — Summarize the main change in 50–60 words, explaining what was done.

📓 References — List relevant issues, discussions, documentation, or related PRs.

📦 Dependencies & Requirements — Mention any new/updated dependencies, environment variable changes, or configuration updates.

📊 Contributor Summary — Include a Markdown table showing contributions:
| Contributor | Lines Added | Lines Removed | Files Changed |

✔️ Additional Notes — Add any extra reviewer context.
Keep each section concise (under 200 words) and use bullet or numbered lists for clarity."

Note: This feature is currently in beta for Pro-tier users, and pricing will be announced later.

Thanks for using CodeRabbit! It's free for OSS, and your support helps us grow. If you like it, consider giving us a shout-out.

These are just some examples for flavor; however most of these aren't on this page anymore.
The intro needs to be changed because this will create confusion.
The simplest solution is to just delete lines 15-28 (or 15-34 if the tip no longer makes sense).

The **Webhook** component creates a webhook trigger that runs a flow when it receives an HTTP POST request.

The **Webhook** component is for starting flows only.

It cannot be used as a flow's output component.

+LLM operations components use attached [**Language model** components](/components-models) to make decisions.


Could you check if "Language model component" is bold or not on other pages? I think I stopped bolding it because we have the core component and bundled components. The bundles don't consistently use the words "language model" in the component names, so it's not really accurate to bold it. (Same for embedding model components).

+title: Processing


I put "components" in the name here because Prompt template is on its own page in this section. I didn't want to misrepresented "processing" as a single component.

TBH, I think all the components should just have their own pages, and then structure the nav by the categories. It would make these reorgs much less painful because we could just shuffle the nav instead of moving the content around piecemeal. You don't need to do that in this PR, but just and idea to keep in mind.

I'm not clear what's happening here. Why are these anchored links in here? Are these components in two categories?
