Views Overview

Learn what each view is for: Unified View, Planning, Data Grid, and Wiki.

Unified View

Unified is the main canvas for a branch. It brings the branch model together in one place.

Unified sub-views

Brainstorm, Flow, and Architecture are sub-views inside Unified. Use them to focus the canvas on a particular kind of work; they are not separate top-level views.

  • Brainstorm: capture and shape early ideas.
  • Flow: work through behavior and process flows.
  • Architecture: focus on system structure and relationships.

Other work areas

These are separate from Unified and its sub-views:

  • Planning: organize planning items such as epics, stories, and tasks.
  • Data Grid: inspect and edit model details in a table.
  • Wiki: keep branch knowledge and decisions alongside the model.

Choose Unified when you need the main branch canvas; use its sub-views to focus that canvas. Choose Planning, Data Grid, or Wiki for their distinct tasks.
