Canvas Tabs
Workflows open in tabs along the top of the screen, the same way pages do in a browser. You can have several open at once and move between them without going back to the dashboard.
Managing tabs
Right-click on any tab (or use the dropdown arrow on the active tab) to open the tab management options:
- Rename: Change the workflow’s name without opening the settings panel.
- Duplicate: Create a copy of the current workflow in a new tab. Useful for testing a risky change, or for turning a working workflow into a template.
- Pin tab: Lock important workflows to the left side of the bar so they are always accessible and take up less horizontal space.
- Copy link: Grab a direct URL to the workflow to share with a teammate.
Bulk closing
After a long building session, bulk actions clear the tab bar in one go:
- Close: Closes the current tab.
- Close others: Keeps only the active workflow open and closes everything else.
- Close tabs to the right: A quick way to clear out a batch of newly opened workflows.
- Close all: Clears your workspace entirely.
- Reopen closed tab: Brings back the last workflow you closed. Useful straight after a Close others you did not mean.
The browser keeps its own tab shortcuts, so Glow’s sit one modifier along:
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Next tab | Cmd/Ctrl + Alt + → |
| Previous tab | Cmd/Ctrl + Alt + ← |
| Close active tab | Cmd/Ctrl + Alt + W |
| Reopen closed tab | Cmd/Ctrl + Alt + T |
| New workflow tab | Cmd/Ctrl + Alt + N |
| Jump to tab 1–8 | Cmd/Ctrl + Alt + 1 … 8 |
| Jump to the last tab | Cmd/Ctrl + Alt + 9 |
Opening a workflow in a tab puts you straight onto the live canvas. If a colleague is editing it, you will see their cursor moving as soon as the tab loads.
