Canvas
The canvas is where design and code meet in Velork. Paste from Figma, capture from the web, or refine layouts with Agent in Design mode — then implement selections in Develop mode.
Open Canvas
Switch to Canvas from the title bar, or press Cmd + Alt + C.
The Design sidebar has two sections:
- Pages — New Page, Delete Page, switch between canvas pages (including Inspiration)
- Layers — Find... search, hide/show, lock/unlock, layer tree for the selection
Canvas toolbar
Drawing and layout tools include Move, Hand, Frame, Rectangle, Circle, Pen, Text, Line, and Comment. Use the actions menu for Capture inspiration from a website or desktop app.
Layout preference toggles (also on the keyboard shortcuts page): snapping, snap to guides/objects/pixel grid, rulers, pixel grid, highlight on hover, dimensions on objects.
