  1. Locate the current canvas name displayed at the top center of your interface
  2. Click directly on this name text to activate the editing mode
  3. Type your preferred name for this canvas
  4. Press Enter to save the new name

This simple naming practice serves an important organizational purpose in your workflow.

Delete

To permanently remove a canvas and its contents:

  1. Locate the delete icon at the top center of the canvas
  2. Click on this icon to initiate deletion
  3. Review the confirmation prompt carefully
  4. Confirm only when certain of your decision

This action permanently removes all content within the canvas including all nodes, connections, and uploaded data.

Side View

To activate the alternative canvas layout:

  1. Look for the door icon in the top right corner of the canvas interface
  2. Click this icon to switch to side view mode

This provides an alternative layout that may be more suitable for certain workflows or screen configurations.
