# Appearance

## Rename nodes

Each node added to your Canvas defaults its name to its node type, but replacing the default with a new label can make your flow more understandable and better identify it in analytics or searches:

{% @arcade/embed flowId="EOPav9FYJw6a9xWwYxuJ" url="<https://app.arcade.software/share/EOPav9FYJw6a9xWwYxuJ>" %}

* Select node > Click within the *Name* field at the top of the side panel
* Enter new name
* Click *Save*

***

## Recolor nodes

Color labels for nodes allow you to quickly distinguish between types on the Canvas, especially if renaming nodes has occurred. Easily scan to locate nodes based on the color labeling system adopted:

{% @arcade/embed flowId="M0F3IET4whisYju5OuM8" url="<https://app.arcade.software/share/M0F3IET4whisYju5OuM8>" %}

* Right-click a node to bring up the [node shortcut menu](https://docs.nlx.ai/platform/nlx-platform-guide/flows-and-building-blocks/canvas#node-shortcut-menu)
* Select *Change color* > Choose color
* Click *Save*

***

## Notes

*Note* nodes allow for freeform text to be added anywhere on the Canvas, granting you the means to include design thoughts, instructions, directions, or even explanations and labels:

{% @arcade/embed flowId="E2To73I2IIxDdYuFt1PA" url="<https://app.arcade.software/share/E2To73I2IIxDdYuFt1PA>" %}

* Select *Add* in the toolbar or right-click to bring up the Canvas shortcut menu
* Choose *New node* > *Note*
* Enter note message and optional title
* Click *Save*

***

## Magic layout

*Magic layout* is an option in your toolbar that evenly displays your flow structure to visually de-clutter and keep your flow (and mind) balanced:

* Select *Magic layout* in the toolbar
* Click *Save*

{% hint style="info" %}
You may use the *Undo* option in your toolbar if you wish to immediately remove the effects of *Magic layout*.
{% endhint %}

## Pages

Creating pages of one flow allows you to break up large conversation flows, enabling you to work in smaller sections. Pages are especially helpful when parts of a flow may be repeated throughout the conversation. Instead of recreating this section over and over, you can add its steps to a separate page and redirect to it often.

* Highlight and right-click on a selection of node(s)
* Choose the [*Extract to new page*](https://docs.nlx.ai/platform/nlx-platform-guide/flows-and-building-blocks/canvas#node-shortcut-menu) option to conveniently auto-create a new page with redirects
* Choose new page from toolbar dropdown
* Click *Save*

{% hint style="danger" %}
To delete a page, click it from the page selector in the toolbar > Tap the edit icon and choose the delete icon.
{% endhint %}
