# Canvas

Central element of the *Workflow Designer*. Blocks constituting the *Workflow* are dragged and connected in it.

At that point it is possible to interact with the blocks by clicking directly **on them** or **on the input or output ports**.
The *Element Details* panel will open on the right, with additional information or configuration forms
depending on the type of block or port clicked.

The canvas also allows you to navigate the *Workflow* controlling the view through
the mouse or the buttons in the lower left corner. The mini map in the lower right corner provides support if needed.
