# Canvas Overview

> The Canvas is the heart of Invook — where everything comes together.

The Canvas is the heart of Invook. It's where your files, notes, conversations, and AI assets come together in **one visible space**. Instead of switching between tools and tabs, you work directly on the Canvas while everything stays connected.

## What Makes Canvas Different?

  <Card title="Collaborate in Real Time" icon="users">
    Invite teammates and clients to the same Canvas to review, iterate, and align.

## How to Use the Canvas

Work directly on the Canvas. You can:

* **Connect documents with AI** — attach files to prompts and models to generate assets in context
* **Ask questions about files** — use text tools to query, summarize, or compare content
* **Continue earlier work** — all your Blocks and connections are saved, so you never lose progress
* **Collaborate with your team** — leave comments directly on Blocks and outputs

## Create custom pipelines

The Canvas is where your ideas come to life. Use the **Add Block** tool to start building workflows. Connect helpers, text tools, and generation models to create custom pipelines.
