Use the left rail to find your work and create new items in the right place.

Choose a view

The icons above the rail switch between Workspaces, Chats, Skills, and Connectors. Automations also appears when enabled for your organization. You can collapse the panel to make room for the Canvas and expand it when you need it.

The Workspaces view

My Workspace is your personal Workspace. Expand a Workspace to see its folders, Canvases, and files in one tree. A folder can hold both files and Canvases; there aren’t separate folder systems for each type. Favorites gives quick access to items you’ve added to favorites. Shared with me lists Canvases and files shared directly with you. Shared Workspaces appear in the Workspace list. Chats stay private. Open them from Chats, Home, your open tabs, or the chat controls for the current Canvas. Use Pin to keep a conversation in the Pinned group.

Create in place

Use the create menu beside the rail’s search field, or right-click a Workspace or folder. Available actions include New canvas, New chat, New document, New folder, Upload files, and Upload folder. Creation uses the location you selected. A Canvas or file created in a shared Workspace inherits that location’s access.

Open and organize

  • Expand a row to browse its contents.
  • Use Open or Open in new tab from an item’s menu to open the work.
  • Drag files or Canvases onto folders to organize them.
  • Drag a file onto a Canvas to use it there. A dialog explains whether you’re adding a live reference, promoting it to the Workspace, or making a copy.
Read the label beside your cursor before dropping. See Files in Cohesive for the reference and copy rules.

Inspect the active Canvas

The Canvas explorer shows the open Canvas’s contents and conversations. Press E on the Canvas to toggle it. Use it to locate cards, change their visibility, or find comment threads. Open Archive from the account menu or the Archive tab in Settings to restore removed work.
