A Canvas puts files, notes, connected records, and agent outputs on one surface that you can arrange and revisit.

​
Move around

Pan with a trackpad scroll or by dragging with the right mouse button. Zoom with a trackpad pinch or Cmd + scroll on macOS (Ctrl + scroll on Windows). Use the zoom controls to adjust the view. Undo and redo use Cmd+Z and Cmd+Shift+Z on macOS, or the corresponding Ctrl shortcuts.

​
Select context

Click a card to select it, or drag on empty Canvas to select a group. Use Cmd or Ctrl while selecting to adjust a multiple selection. Press Escape to leave a placement or interaction mode and clear selection. Before asking the agent to work on specific cards, check the selected context.

​
Keyboard shortcuts

These shortcuts apply while you’re working on the Canvas, outside a text field. Editing shortcuts require edit access. Viewers can use comments when enabled.

​
Toolbar and menus

Use the toolbar to add notes, documents, sections, labels, shapes, and drawings. The insert menu includes files, links, widgets, Quick Chat, voice, and comments. Right-click the Canvas for creation actions. Right-click a card for actions on that item, such as Open, Rename, Wrap in section, or Share. Available actions depend on the object and your access.

​
Remove with care

Plain notes, shapes, and lines use Delete. File-backed cards can use Archive, while references use Remove from canvas. See Archive and restore for the difference. Continue with Canvas content, Sections, or Files on the Canvas.
