A Design canvas is a board: frames, options, notes, and a Library drawer of reusable components, pages, and tokens. It is created when Chat or Code writes to it and persists on your account. You work on it in the Design desktop app.

​
The shape of the product

​
Start from Chat or Code

1

Sign in

Canvases are member objects.
2

Host a canvas

Ask Chat — lay these three screens out on a canvas — or ask a Code session to draw the architecture. The design tools create the board, titled Untitled canvas, and write frames to it.
3

Open it on desktop

Install the Design desktop app, sign in, and open the board. Edit frames, notes, and the Library drawer there.

​
What the web app will not do

  • Show a Design segment on the product switcher.
  • Open a working canvas in the browser.
  • Let a guest create a canvas.
Hosting from Chat or Code still creates the object; the desktop app is where you work.
