Working on the canvas

The canvas is a node-based workspace. You add nodes, connect outputs to inputs, and run the graph. Connections are typed, so the canvas only lets you make links that make sense.

Add nodes

• Right-click the canvas to open Canvas Actions, then choose Add Node. Browse by section or type in Search nodes….
• Drag from an output handle onto empty canvas to pick a node that accepts that output.
• Drop files from your computer onto the canvas to bring them in as references.
• Use the side buttons to browse your media library, import media from Instagram, search Unsplash photos, or browse styles.
• Ask the Composer to build a graph for you.

Canvas Actions also has Load Workflow, Import from Instagram, Save and Save selection, Enforce brand book on selection, view controls, and Clear Canvas.

Connect nodes

Drag from one node’s output handle to another node’s input. Handles are typed — text, image, video, audio, document, or media — and only compatible handles connect. See Nodes for what each node takes and makes.

Run a graph

Each node shows Running, Done, or Error. Outputs are saved to your Library.

Save your work

The canvas autosaves a second after you stop making changes. The sync status shows where your work stands: To keep a graph you can reload, save it as a workflow.

Workspaces

A workspace is a canvas tab for the brand. Create one with New Workspace, rename it with the pencil icon, or delete it. A workspace opened from the Planner carries a Planner badge, with Back to Planner and Apply Back to Planner to return your work to the draft.

Collaborate

The canvas is multiplayer. Teammates in the same workspace appear in the avatar stack, and you see their named cursors live. A team chat keeps the conversation next to the work.

The Composer

The Composer is the canvas agent. Describe a workflow and it builds the graph.

• Type @ to bring in creative skills, Elements, or Library media.
• Type / for shortcuts, such as /brand, /brand:colors, /brand:logo, or /nobrand.
• Switch between Thinking and Fast.
• Attach up to three saved workflows as a starting point.

Shortcuts

Try it

In the Composer, type a request such as Make three lifestyle shots of @ColdBrewCan on a beach at golden hour /brand. The @ mention pulls in your Element, and /brand grounds the result in your brand. Or ask Claude or ChatGPT:

• “Create a new canvas workspace called ‘Holiday gifting’.”
• “On my open canvas, connect the product photo to the image generator and run it.”
• “Save this canvas as a workflow called ‘Product on white’.”
