@Paula DiTallo 1. Everything you configure in NiFi (Processors, connections, input ports, output ports, Remote Process groups, funnels, Controller services, reporting tasks, etc...) is contained within the flow.xml.gz file (by default located in NiFi's conf directory). You can clear the canvas in a couple ways: Select all components the canvas and click "delete" key. (Depending on connections, some components may not delete first time.) All connections must be absent of any queued data. All Processors must be stopped. This method will not delete any controller services, reporting tasks, or imported templates (these must be removed manually). Stop NiFi and delete the flow.xml.gz file. On next restart, a new blank flow.xml.gz file will be generated. Any FlowFiles that were still queued in NiFi will be deleted during start-up. This method will remove all components including controller services, reporting tasks, and imported templates. 2. User need to use the "upload template" icon found in the "Operate Panel" found to the left of the canvas. Once the template has been uploaded, it can be instantiated on to the canvas by dragging the "Template" icon form the top menu bar in the NIFi UI to the canvas. Thanks, Matt ... View more
