Scenes for Canvas

Use case or problem

Organizing Canvas in a Manner that Makes it Useful.

There needs to be a linear way to get to different scenes in the canvas, without scrolling around and zooming in and out.

As a user, I want to:

  1. arrange some files and nodes in an area of the canvas.
  2. save that zoom and location for easy access
  3. title that zoom and location, so that I can quickly get to it

Proposed solution

I think that apple’s Freeform app implements it almost exactly how it should be done.

A user is working on their canvas, they press a button to “save scene.” The current scene (eg location and zoom level) gets saved to a menu of scenes, that the user can 1. Re-name 2. Replace 3. Re-order.
