Layout Tour

A 60-second map of the Lino interface. You don't need to memorize anything — just know where to look.

The canvas

The center of the screen is your canvas — an infinite, zoomable surface. Scroll to pan, pinch or ⌘-scroll to zoom. Double-click any empty spot to create a card.

The left sidebar

Your Workspaces and their Canvases live on the left, along with the built-in Daily Drafts and Archive spaces. This is how you switch between different areas of your work.

The top bar

Icons along the top open the Right Panels — Sketch, Read, Browser, and Sparks. Click any of them to dock a tool to the right side of your screen.

The bottom-right

The floating button in the bottom-right corner opens Lino AI — it understands your cards and connections, and acts as your thinking partner.

Each canvas object's header

Hover any canvas object (card / image / link / sketch / table / Spark) to reveal its header buttons — including Send to Side Area (a reference view pinned bottom-left) and Open Full Editor (a focused, document-style view).

That's the whole map. The rest of these docs go deep on each piece — start with Cards & Concepts.
