The Canvas is Flowy’s infinite workspace: an open board where you drop nodes, wire them together, and generate text, images, video, audio, and more. Everything else in the editor — toolbar, inspector, AI chat — exists to serve what happens on this surface.

The canvas editor: left toolbar, infinite node surface, Canvas/Studio pill up top, and the Flowy AI dock along the bottom

​
The node surface

The infinite board fills your screen. Pan and zoom freely, spread work across as much space as you need, and connect a node’s output to another node’s input to pass results downstream. See Navigation & Selection for every way to move around, and Nodes for what you can place here.

​
Left toolbar

A vertical rail on the left edge holds the Add a node menu, the select, pan, cut, sticky note, and group tools, undo and redo, auto layout, and preferences. The Canvas Toolbar page walks it top to bottom.

​
Node inspector

Select a single node and the inspector opens along the right edge with that node’s full editable controls — model, settings, versions, and a credit estimate for the next run. The node itself keeps a compact summary so the board stays readable.

​
Flowy AI dock

The pill at the bottom of the canvas — “Describe what you want to generate…” — expands into the Flowy AI composer. Above it, a row of quick actions suggests one-click prompts that change with your selection. Submitting a prompt opens the full chat panel, where the assistant plans and builds on the canvas for you. Learn more in AI Assistant. Across the top of the editor:
  • Project pill (left) — the project name and menu; click the name to rename it.
  • Canvas / Studio pill (center) — switches between the node canvas and the Studio timeline, where you refine a Composition and export video.
  • Search (⌘ K) — the command palette. Run project actions, switch modes, reopen recent projects, or type to jump to any node on the canvas by its title or prompt.
  • Generation activity — a live chip that appears while generations run, with a count and per-item progress.
  • Credits — your workspace credit balance.

​
Bottom-left controls

A small pill in the bottom-left corner toggles the minimap and shows the current zoom level. Click the percentage for zoom presets: in, out, 100%, fit, and zoom to selection.
