How to Use Code Canvas

Three Ways to Work with Code Canvas

Code Canvas is a versatile tool designed to streamline your coding workflow. Unlike traditional methods, it requires you to instruct the LLM to perform specific tasks, making it ideal for debugging or enhancing code.

Code Canvas Step 1
1

Copy and Paste Code

Directly copy code snippets and paste them into the canvas. All languages are supported.

2

Configure Prompt Settings

Click Prompt Tools to select your preferred Model, Persona, or Prompt Template.

3

Generate Code

Submit a prompt to have the LLM generate new code — e.g., "Generate a Python function that takes two arguments and returns their sum."

After pasting code or submitting a prompt, you can interact with the code directly in the canvas:

  • Manipulate the Code: Edit code directly within the canvas.
  • Prompt the LLM: Use commands to instruct the LLM to make specific changes.
Code Canvas Step 2
Important: The code generated by the LLM will not execute within the canvas. To run the code, you must copy and paste it into your IDE.

Available Canvas Actions
