When you give the canvas Agent a task, it now lays out the steps it intends to take in the sidebar, then works through them in front of you.
- The plan comes first. No more guessing what a stream of tool calls is doing — each step is named, and ticks off as it completes.
- Deleting or overwriting waits for your OK. If the plan contains a step that deletes a node or overwrites finished work, the Agent stops and asks before touching anything.
- Cross out steps before you confirm. Don't want a particular step? Cross it out. The server refuses to run it — this isn't a hint to the Agent, it's enforced.
- Changes of mind are stated. If the Agent rethinks its approach mid-task, the list is marked "Plan adjusted" rather than quietly becoming something else.
- Longer tasks keep more of their context. Multi-step work picked up across sessions carries the earlier steps with it.
The canvas Agent is still in closed beta — accounts on the list will see this after the update.
