Board mode and focus mode
Switch between the board-level canvas view and focused editing for a single node.
Before you start
- An open board with at least one node.
Board mode
Board mode is the default view. You see the full infinite canvas with all your nodes — images, videos, animations, and frames. This is where you arrange work, select nodes, and give the agent instructions that can span multiple nodes.
Entering focus mode
Focus mode zooms into a single node for detailed editing. To enter it:
- Double-click a node, or
- click Edit on the node's context toolbar.
In focus mode the agent treats the focused node as its primary reference — responses and work are scoped to that node.
Design mode
Design mode is the default within focus mode. It focuses on static editing and gives you access to:
- Layers — view and manage the layers inside a frame.
- Typography tool — edit text layers directly.
More design tools are being added over time.
Motion mode
Switch to motion mode when working with animation or video. It gives you access to:
- Timeline — sequence and time your animation keyframes or video layers.
- Playback controls — preview the animation or video directly.
Returning to the board
To leave focus mode and return to the board:
- Click the back button, or
- press Esc.
Tips
- Use board mode for arranging and comparing work across your canvas. Use focus mode when you need to edit a specific node in detail.
- In focus mode the agent automatically scopes to the focused node — you don't need to select it first.
- Switch between design mode and motion mode depending on whether you're working on static visuals or animation.
