### Use case or problem
Large canvases tendency to overwhelm of too much information on the page.
Use case: High level overview in canvas, with ability to ‘zoom in’ at various levels of granularity from map → node → note → block**
### Proposed solution
Command-palette item to toggle hide note content, and show only titles in canvas view.
### Current workaround (optional)
Resizing notes in canvas view to only show the title
### Related feature requests (optional)
Only having the title would be too small for me. Assumes I remember the content of each title, which might not be true for very large canvasses.
So perhaps 2 levels of bulk-folding, titles-only, and titles + headings.
However, even if you don’t remember the title of each note, combined with a collapsible sidebar, it wouldn’t matter
Still wouldn’t work for me. I’d far prefer an adjustable minimised setting.
That’s possible already by dragging to expand each note - Doing it in bulk would be extremely useful though, it sounds like something like a bulk slider would be more useful for your use case
being able to only show the title would also be a requirement for me. Nothing too fancy - just show/hide note content
Another easy implementation would be a simple command to convert a note to a card with link to the note, and vice versa.
Right now when I want to reference an existing note in a canvas, I’ll often create a card with a link to the note rather than embed the note itself.

Exactly for this purpose (show only headlines in canvas elements) I am trying to create a css snippet. But it would be much easier and more elegant to do it with a single click.
This would be amazing. Honestly, the fact that it doesnt have this feature is the only reason I don’t use it. I would love to use canvas to organize my notes into categories and such. If i forget what a card is i can click on it and be taken to the note, having all the info right there in the canvas, for my use, 99% of the time, just isnt nessesary, but it’s really frustrating to have to resize every note I bring in when i’m organize brainstorming in bulk notes
YES!!! I have the same problem, and have to use the resize workaround.
Perhaps this could be an item-specific setting for each item on the canvas (RightClick > Hide Body)?
I’m building a canvas mostly using my existing notes, and sometimes I don’t need to see the entire note, just the title. I would like to be able to click on such note, and then have the said note open in a specific tab or pane in my workspace. This would allow users to use the canvas as a way of browsing notes…
+1, this would be really helpful for larger Canvas
