New page for the missing Comfy Cloud API keys documentation: the API Keys & Secrets settings panel, including BYOK.

What is added

New page cloud/api-keys-and-secrets.mdx in EN, zh, ja, ko, es (Cloud Exclusive nav group, after Workspaces):

  • What the panel stores: encrypted provider credentials. Values are never shown again after saving.
  • How to open it: settings dialog via Ctrl + , or the Cloud menu, then Secrets.
  • How to add a secret: provider, credential type (text key, or a JSON credential of up to 1 MB), name, value.
  • How to manage secrets: edit (name and value only, the provider cannot be changed), delete (permanent).
  • BYOK: Runway and Google Gemini today for partner nodes in Comfy Cloud, enabled per workspace, and partner node calls on your own key are billed by the provider directly instead of drawing Comfy credits.
  • Credentials for private models links out to Import models instead of restating the import flow.

The page reuses the existing Secrets panel screenshots (images/cloud/import_model/setting_secerts-1.png, -2.png), so no new binary assets are added.

Fact sources

  • Official FAQ: apps/website/src/content/faq/pricing/en/byok-provider-keys.mdx and apps/website/src/content/faq/enterprise/en/byok-provider-keys.mdx in Comfy-Org/ComfyUI_frontend (BYOK scope, per-workspace activation, provider billing).
  • Frontend source on origin/main: src/platform/secrets/providers.ts, src/platform/secrets/types.ts, src/platform/secrets/api/secretsApi.ts, src/platform/secrets/components/SecretFormDialog.vue, src/platform/secrets/components/SecretListItem.vue, src/platform/secrets/composables/useSecretForm.ts, src/platform/settings/composables/useSettingUI.ts, src/locales/en/main.json (secrets).
  • Existing page cloud/import-models.mdx is the source for the BYOM side, which this page links rather than duplicates.

Import page accuracy fix

cloud/import-models.mdx told readers they could name a secret anything, which no longer matches the Secrets dialog. The same change fixes that step in en/zh/ja/ko/es: it names the required Provider field, notes that a secret value cannot be viewed again, and links this page for the panel reference. The ko file also translated Secrets as a password, which is corrected.

Verification

  • Rebuilt on current upstream/main so the page ships with the es locale block in docs.json.
  • python3 .github/scripts/check-anchors.py on the 5 page files and the 5 cloud/import-models.mdx files: all anchors OK.
  • CI=true pnpm translate:sync-hash -- cloud/api-keys-and-secrets.mdx: es hash added, zh/ja/ko already in sync, no unrelated files touched.
  • bun .github/scripts/i18n/check-structure-parity.ts --base=upstream/main: OK.
  • docs.json: one nav entry per language (en, zh, ja, ko, es), each with the correct language prefix, verified by walking the JSON.
  • Structure: 7 ## headings in every locale, identical component counts, no em dashes, no leftover English UI labels in the localized files (UI labels follow the frontend locale strings).
  • External links used: https://www.comfy.org/contact (200) and https://cloud.comfy.org (200).

Checked against ComfyUI_frontend: src/platform/secrets/providers.ts lists HuggingFace, Civitai, Runway and Google Gemini, and says the provider list is server-driven. The BYOK FAQ (apps/website/.../byok-provider-keys.mdx) matches the BYOK section: Runway and Google Gemini, per-workspace, billed by the provider. One nit: the FAQ doesn't say "in Comfy Cloud" specifically, so "For partner nodes in Comfy Cloud" is a slight inference. Otherwise LGTM. This PR and #1791 touch related content and should be merged together.

Aclara quién recibe el cargo de BYOK.

“Se facturan directamente a ese proveedor” puede indicar que el proveedor recibe el cargo. El texto inglés indica que el proveedor factura directamente al usuario. Cambia ambas frases por “el proveedor te factura directamente”.

Corrección sugerida
-- BYOK se activa por workspace, y las llamadas de nodos de partners que se ejecutan con tu propia clave se facturan directamente a ese proveedor en lugar de descontar tus créditos de Comfy.
+- BYOK se activa por workspace, y el proveedor te factura directamente las llamadas de nodos de partners que se ejecutan con tu propia clave en lugar de descontarlas de tus créditos de Comfy.
...
-    No. Las llamadas de nodos de partners que se ejecutan con tu propia clave BYOK se facturan directamente a ese proveedor, así que no descuentan tus créditos de Comfy.
+    No. El proveedor te factura directamente las llamadas de nodos de partners que se ejecutan con tu propia clave BYOK, así que no descuentan tus créditos de Comfy.

…step

The import flow told readers they could name a secret anything, which is
no longer how the Secrets dialog works. Step 2 now names the Provider
field, notes that secret values cannot be viewed again, and links the
panel reference. ko also mistranslated Secrets as a password.
