The dashboard view and full view
Every canvas opens as a dashboard: its tiles laid out for you, with a full view and the AI chat beside it.

A canvas opens as a dashboard. Headline figures (KPIs) come first, in a strip of their own. The rest follow in the order they sit on the canvas: charts two to a row, tables across the full width, notes and insights beside them. Answers from the assistant follow under “Your questions”, oldest first. The heading shows how many tiles and answers there are.
The dashboard and the canvas are two views of the same items: a tile changed or removed on one is changed or removed on the other. Choose Canvas in the Dashboard | Canvas switch to arrange items by hand. On a wide screen your browser remembers the view you chose for next time; on narrower screens, such as phones, the dashboard is always shown.
Hover over a tile, or move to it with Tab, to show its actions. Its ⋯ menu has the same actions as on the canvas, and removing a tile offers Undo. Click a tile to make it the subject of your next question.
On a wide screen, “Full view” puts the navigation and the assistant away so the dashboard takes the whole width. “AI chat” at the bottom right brings the assistant back over the right edge, with your conversation as you left it; its close button puts it away. Escape closes the chat first, then leaves full view. “Exit full view” returns to the usual layout.
When a new answer lands, its tile scrolls into view and is outlined for a moment. In the chat, “Show” on an answer brings its tile back into view.
