What is the Canvas View?
The Canvas View is designed to show you your workflow at a high level, in more of a story-based view. It’s fully featured for any editing or iteration, but also easier to understand for non-technical members of your team.What does the Canvas View look like?
The Canvas displays your entire workflow as a series of nodes, each representing a step in your logic. Some nodes represent major sections, like Inputs or Response, while others represent specific functions, such as fetching a database record or manipulating data. This view makes it easy to understand and modify your logic visually.Navigating the Canvas
Canvas View navigation is fully mouse driven and was designed to feel intuitive and natural.Click and drag anywhere to pan around the canvas
Scroll with your mouse wheel to zoom in and out

If your layout gets messy, click Auto Layout in the bottom-right corner to reorganize everything into a clean, standard structure. That same panel also includes zoom controls, letting you quickly fit the entire workflow into view.
