Side View

Side View is a right-hand panel that shows the active node's content at full height. It gives you a focused, document-like view of a single node while the canvas stays visible next to it.

Opening Side View

1. Click the panel icon in the top-right of the canvas header to toggle the panel.
2. Click any node on the canvas — the panel shows its content.
3. Click a different node to switch the panel to it.

Until you select a node, the panel shows: "Select a node on the canvas to view its content here".

Document nodes can jump straight here — double-click the page preview on the node.

What each node type shows

• Chat node — the full conversation, with a compact message input pinned to the bottom so you can keep chatting from the panel.
• Text node — the text, editable right in the panel.
• Image node — the image at full size.
• Web node — the captured page content.
• Document node — a page-by-page PDF reader with Previous / Next controls and a page counter, pages sized to the panel's width. Non-PDF files (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and the rest) open in the same reader once their PDF conversion is ready.
• Post node — the post's content.

Use cases

• Reading long AI answers — a detailed response is much easier to read in a full-height column than inside a node on the canvas.
• Writing — open a draft Text node in Side View and edit it like a document, while glancing at your outline and source nodes on the canvas.
• Research triage — keep Side View open and click through your Web and Document nodes one by one to skim each source without opening and closing anything.
• Chatting while navigating — continue a conversation from the panel's input while you pan around the canvas connecting new context to it.
