For our first year every workflow lived in a form. You picked a trigger from a list, added steps one by one, and hoped the straight line on screen matched the branches in your head. It worked, but it never looked like the thing it described.
What the canvas changes
The canvas swaps the form for a real graph. Triggers, lookups, conditions and actions are blocks you connect by hand, and the shape you draw is the shape that runs. When a run fails you click the block that broke and see the exact data it received, not a log line you have to decode.
Branches pushed us here. A list can fake one if and else, but real workflows split three or four ways depending on what a model or a webhook sends back. The canvas draws every branch as its own path, so you can see at a glance which one fired.
What comes next
This is the first version. Nested workflows and testing a single block in place come next, because those were the two things beta teams asked for most.
