Open Canvas in ChatGPT

How to open canvas in chatgpt

In ChatGPT, **Canvas** is the space where you and I can collaborate on longer documents or code in a side panel instead of just chat.

Here’s how you can open it:

1. **Trigger from a request**
If you ask me something like *“Make a canvas”*, *“Open in canvas”*, or *“Use canvas for this code/document”*, I’ll create a Canvas for you automatically.

2. **When it’s useful**
– Writing or editing long documents (e.g., proposals, articles, reports).
– Working on code files (e.g., React, Python, HTML).
– Iterating on drafts where you want to see and refine text directly.

3. **How it looks**
Once opened, Canvas appears as a panel next to the chat. You’ll see the file/document content there and can edit it yourself while I suggest updates.
