Open a canvas
Open CharDesk Canvas in your browser. Explore the welcome canvas, then create your own from the session menu.
Content sits on a character grid. Place related content vertically and comparisons side by side. Panning changes your view without moving the text.
Add your first content
- Select the text tool, click an empty spot, and type a title.
- Add text below it, or click to the right to start a comparison.
- Switch to the selection tool, drag out a range, and try moving, copying, or recoloring it.
Start with a short passage before pasting longer content. Text, CJK characters, emoji, and character art can share one canvas.
Choose where to work
- Edit, share, and collaborate in your browser: use Web Canvas.
- Work in a terminal: see Terminal canvas.
- Ask an Agent to create or edit content: see Connect an Agent.
Web and terminal canvases use different storage and controls. They do not automatically share a session. See Sessions for saving and recovery.
