# Canvas tools

> The toolbar tools for navigating, selecting, annotating, and adding to your canvas.

The canvas toolbar holds the core tools for working with your map. Switch between them depending on what you are doing.

## Toolbar tools

| Tool               | What it does                                                           |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Hand**           | Pan around the canvas by dragging.                                     |
| **Select**         | Click or box-select screens to move, align, or delete them.            |
| **Comment**        | Drop a [comment](/collaborate/comments) pinned to a screen.            |
| **Sticky note**    | Add a free-floating [sticky note](/collaborate/sticky-notes) anywhere. |
| **New flow**       | Start a new [flow frame](/canvas/flows-and-frames) on the canvas.      |
| **Add screenshot** | [Add a screen](/capture/add-screens) by upload, paste, or URL.         |
| **Lock / unlock**  | Freeze or unfreeze the layout so screens do not move.                  |

## Selection tools

When you select more than one screen, a selection toolbar appears so you can:

* Align screens to the same edge or center.
* Distribute screens evenly to even out spacing.
* Change [page types](/canvas/screens) in bulk.
* Capture [screenshots](/canvas/screenshots) for the selection (desktop or mobile, viewport or full page).
* Move or delete the whole selection at once.

See [Layout and alignment](/canvas/layout) for details.

## Frame options

Each [flow frame](/canvas/flows-and-frames) has an options menu for actions that used to live only in chat:

* Group screens by page type or URL path
* Apply vertical or horizontal layout
* Capture screenshots for every screen in the frame

The same actions are still available as [slash commands](/ai/slash-commands).

## Lock and unlock

Screens are unlocked by default, so you can rearrange freely. Lock the layout when you want to present or avoid accidental moves, then unlock to edit again.

<Tip>
  Prefer the frame and selection menus when you want to stay on the canvas. Use [slash commands](/ai/slash-commands) when you are already in chat.
