Help needed

Hi, copied my message from GroundControl Skool. I'm studying intro to Fusion and this is the photobash exercise.Here is my problem: by mistake I clicked a wrong key on the keyboard, and few disastrous things happened:

First, I cannot continue to use the mask, I don't know why.
Second, the castle disappeared from the second viewer. I know it's there, but I cannot see it.
Third, it seems that the node Transform2 is disconnected from the castle and I cannot control the castle location with it. Why?

I hope I described the problems in understandable and accurate manner. Thank you for any help. I hope that the screenshots will be helpful to understand these problems.

I don't have an answer (I'm new also), but I asked ChatGPT and hopefully this will help:

Thank you for trying to help me. What I did is now to play again with the different nodes and comparing the connections with the way Casey connected them. I found the castle and it was still connected to Transform2 node. I've noticed that when the Polygon2 connected to the Merge2 node it covers the entire Desert Tree image, and it will continue to do so until I will complete masking the mountain. Since the Polygon2 became defunct and I didn't find a way to make it function again, I deleted it and brought a new Polygon node. I will re-mask the mountain and I think that when I will complete masking it I will see again the castle. Anyways, this whole mess is because I don't fully understand how the nodes system works, and to be honest, I hardly understand how they work.

Thanks again!

This is why we're taking Casey's course(s) - to learn how all this stuff works.
