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.
Here’s what each kind is for:
| Node | What it’s for |
|---|---|
| Sticky note | A short note to yourself or a teammate — direction, a reminder, an open question. |
| HTML reference | Paste an existing HTML email. Migma can convert it into a fully editable email. |
| Image reference | A brand asset or a generated visual you want to keep on hand while you work. |
| Link / market reference | A URL or a competitor email pinned as inspiration, with a thumbnail preview. |
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 compiles 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.
Group related nodes
Group related nodes
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.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.
Preview a past version
Select any version to view the canvas as it was at that point, read-only, without changing anything.
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
