The canvas is a planning surface, not a separate editor. Content still lives where it always has — the canvas adds a spatial layer on top so you can see and organize the whole project at a glance.
What lives on the canvas
Anything you’ve created for the project is already there. As you generate more, new nodes appear automatically.Emails
Every email in the project, rendered as a live preview you can arrange.
Social posts
Social content for the project, shown alongside the emails it supports.
Blog articles
Long-form articles, kept in the same workspace as the rest of the project.
Adding references
The canvas isn’t only for finished content. Right-click anywhere on an empty part of the surface to drop in supporting material that shapes what you build.1
Open the canvas menu
Right-click on an empty area of the canvas to bring up the add menu.
2
Pick what to add
Choose a market inspiration reference or paste in raw HTML.
3
Position it
Drag the new node anywhere. It stays where you put it.
Commenting on canvas
Use comments for review, questions, and design direction without covering email previews.1
Choose Comment
Select the comment button beside the canvas controls, then click where the feedback belongs. You can also right-click an empty area and choose Comment here.
2
Start the thread
Write the first comment. A compact marker with your avatar stays anchored beside the email or canvas area.
3
Mention a teammate
Type
@ or select the @ button, then find a teammate by name or email. The mention stays attached to that person, and their in-app alert opens this exact thread. If they are away, the alert waits until they return.4
Review replies
Select the marker to read the thread and reply. Replies support the same teammate mentions. The marker shows the number of messages when a thread has replies.
5
Resolve feedback
Resolve the thread when the feedback is handled. Reopen it if more work is needed.
Turning an HTML reference into an email
An HTML reference starts as a preview pinned to the canvas. When you want to actually work on it, Migma converts it into an editable email that renders through the same engine as everything else you make.HTML Import

Connecting and grouping nodes
Once you have nodes on the canvas, you can show how they relate.Draw flow lines
Draw flow lines
Connect one node to another to sketch out the order or relationship between them — for example, the path through a sequence of emails. Flow lines are a visual aid for planning; they document how you think the pieces fit together.
Flow lines and groups are organizational. They help you and your team read the canvas; they don’t change how or when anything sends.
Version history
Every meaningful change to the canvas is captured as a version, so you can always look back — or go back.1
Open the history dropdown
The version control in the canvas header lists each saved version with a label and how long ago it was made. The most recent is marked latest.
2
Preview a past version
Select any version to view the canvas as it was at that point, read-only, without changing anything.
3
Restore in one click
Restore a version to bring the canvas back to that state. Migma confirms first and shows you which later additions would leave the current view.
Duplicate into a new chat
Use Duplicate email or Duplicate series from an email card menu when you want to try another direction without changing the original. Migma opens the latest canvas version in a new chat with the same email or sequence ready to refine.Rename chats, series, and emails
Open the actions menu for a chat, series, or email and choose Rename. A chat and its series share one name, so either rename keeps both labels aligned. Renaming an individual email changes only the name shown in Migma. Its email subject stays unchanged.Working together
The canvas is realtime and multiplayer — when teammates are in the same project, you see each other’s changes as they happen. That’s covered in its own guide.Realtime Collaboration
How presence, live updates, and shared editing work across a project.
