# Node properties

You can edit the properties of any node in your flow.

## General and connector-specific tabs

The **General** tab contains properties related to the selected connector and capability. See the connector's entry in the [integration directory](https://marketplace.pingone.com/browse?products=davinci) for information about these properties.

Some connectors and capabilities use additional tabs. These tabs are unique to the connector and are described in the connector documentation.

## Settings tab

The **Settings** tab contains settings about the node display and performance. After you edit these settings, click **Apply** to save your changes.
