The Canvas
The Canvas is the main work surface of WordPresto. The Dashboard is command and overview; the Canvas is where work actually happens. It is a rich editing environment — not a plain text box — and it is the source of approved content.
What you can do in the Canvas
Section titled “What you can do in the Canvas”- Create content from scratch, or import a live page from WordPress, Sanity or an Astro content collection.
- Edit with real structure: headings, paragraphs, lists, links, sections and metadata.
- Proof and review with specialist Workers, which return suggestions, checks and rewrites inline.
- Compare, version and approve, then prepare content for a destination.
The content model is CMS-agnostic
Section titled “The content model is CMS-agnostic”The Canvas keeps content in a neutral, structured model so it can map to Astro, Sanity, WordPress, Markdown, MDX or HTML. Destination-specific formatting is the job of the Builder Worker and the publishing agents, not the Canvas — so semantic structure, headings, links, media references and approval state are preserved through rewrites, proofing and voice changes.
Workers serve the Canvas
Section titled “Workers serve the Canvas”Specialist Workers (Draft, Rewrite, Clarity and Proofing, Voice and Persona, SEO Title and Metadata, Schema, Evidence, Accessibility, Editorial Risk and more) read the current Canvas content and the project intelligence, do their specialist task, and return structured suggestions for you to accept, reject or edit. They never write to an external system and never bypass your approval.
Approval and re-editing
Section titled “Approval and re-editing”Approval is deliberate: required reviews have run, suggestions are resolved, and you give final approval, which is persisted with a timestamp and who approved. If you edit the Canvas after approval, the content returns to draft state and the previous approval is cleared — so nothing is ever published from an edited-but-unapproved document.
