Canvas Extras: Notes & Screen-share
The infinite canvas supports two productivity features: sticky notes for annotations and live screen-share input for real-time captures.
Notes
Sticky notes let you add text annotations directly on the canvas as floating reminders or labels.
How to add a note
- Right-click anywhere on the canvas
- From the Add node submenu, select Note
- A new sticky note appears at the context menu location
- Double-click the note to edit its text
Edit and format
- Edit text: Double-click the note to enter edit mode; press Ctrl+Enter (or Cmd+Enter on Mac) to save, or click elsewhere to exit
- Change color: Select the note and use the color button in the toolbar above it, or right-click and choose Color to pick from the available palette
- Resize: Drag the corners of the selected note to adjust its dimensions
- Auto-fit height: Select the note and click the Hug content button (stack icon) in the toolbar to auto-resize the height to match the text
- Duplicate: Select the note and right-click → Duplicate (or use Ctrl+D), or click the duplicate button (copy icon) in the toolbar
Screen-share input
Screen-share input lets you add a live desktop or window capture to the canvas as a generation input. The capture feeds into the Enhance category for polished renders, and you can crop the region before use.
How to add a screen-share node
- Right-click anywhere on the canvas
- From the Add node submenu, select Share Screen
- Note: Only one screen-share node can exist per canvas at a time
- A browser picker appears; select the window, tab, or monitor to share
- A LIVE indicator appears in the top-right corner of the node once the stream is active
Crop region
- Enter crop mode: Click the Crop button in the node's toolbar (appears when the node is selected and the stream is active)
- Adjust crop: Drag the crop rectangle's edges or corners to define the region you want to capture
- Move crop: Click and drag the entire crop rectangle to reposition it
- Apply or cancel: Use the Apply crop or Cancel buttons in the crop mode action bar at the bottom
- Full frame: Leaving the crop at full-frame size (or dragging to full-frame) disables the crop and captures the entire screen
Use in generation
The current frame of the screen-share input—respecting your crop region—is captured at generation time and feeds the generation pipeline as a reference input. It appears in the Enhance category as a polished render input. See Chat bar: generating images for the Enhance category.
