Side View
A full-height panel for reading and working in one node without losing your place on the canvas.
Last updated: July 6, 2026
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
- Click the panel icon in the top-right of the canvas header to toggle the panel.
- Click any node on the canvas — the panel shows its content.
- 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".
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 — the document's content.
- 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.
