Understanding the canvas

The canvas renders through your real theme, live.

The canvas isn't an approximation — it renders your page through your site's actual active theme and stylesheet, the same markup a visitor would see. Click any element to select it; the right panel switches to show its Content, Style, Layout, and Advanced controls.

  • Click once to select an element.
  • Click again (or double-click text) to edit its content in place.
  • Right-click for a context menu: duplicate, copy, paste, delete, and Save as Template — choose whether to save just the selected section or the entire page as a personal, reusable template.
  • Use the Navigator panel (top bar) to select an element by its position in the tree, useful for deeply-nested layouts.

Keyboard shortcuts

  • Ctrl/Cmd+Z / Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+Z — undo / redo.
  • Ctrl/Cmd+C / Ctrl/Cmd+V — copy and paste the selected element, including its styles.
  • Delete / Backspace — remove the selected element.
