# Canvas Navigation
Learn how to navigate, add, and manage nodes on the canvas, connect handles, and use the toolbar and sidebar features.
## Adding and Managing Nodes
**Add a new node:**
* Click on `"+"` or `"Toolbox"` from the left toolbar
* Right-click anywhere on the canvas (or press `Space`)
* Search or browse by category
* Click to add the node
**Move a node:**
* Click and drag it to the desired location
**Remove a node:**
* Select it (Highlighted) and Press `Delete` or `Backspace`
**Duplicate a node:**
* Select it and Press `Ctrl/Cmd + D`
## Connect and Manage Handles
**Connect a Handle:**
* Click and drag from an output slot (right side of a node) and connect to a compatible input slot (left side of another node)
* Release to connect the handle
**Remove a Handle:**
* On hovering the handle, a `"x"` button appears to remove/delete it
* Click to select it (Highlighted) and Press `Delete` or `Backspace`
## Cut Connections with Scissors
The **Scissors** tool lets you sever node connections by drawing a cut line across them — useful for quickly cleaning up complex graphs without having to click each handle individually.
**To use the Scissors tool:**
Hold `Alt` (Windows) or `Option` (Mac) and click-drag across the canvas, or select the Scissors tool from the left toolbar.
Drag the cut line across any connections you want to remove. Every handle the line crosses will be severed.
Use the Scissors tool when reorganizing a large workflow — it's much faster than deleting handles one by one.
## Canvas Navigation
**Pan the canvas:**
* Click and drag on empty space
* Use the **middle mouse button** or **two-finger drag** on a trackpad
**Zoom:**
* Use the **scroll wheel** (up/down) or the **pinch gesture** on a trackpad
* Use zoom controls in the bottom-right corner
