You can use the **Clipboard** to keep track of what's on the Canvas and what **should** be on the Canvas. It allows speedy bulk importation of all the nodes from a particular page or set of pages

## Opening the Clipboard

Open the Clipboard by clicking on the Discourse Graph icon in the bottom toolbar, which will cause the Clipboard icon to appear.

🟡 New guide capitalizes generic feature words against the site's documentation style rule

Generic feature terms such as "Clipboard" and "Canvas" are written capitalized throughout the new guide (for example at apps/website/content/roam/guides/using-canvas-clipboard.mdx:12), which breaks the site's sentence-case documentation rule that reserves capitals for official product names and exact UI labels.
Impact: Documentation reads inconsistently with the rest of the site's pages.

Where the rule is defined and which lines violate it

apps/website/AGENTS.md states: "Use sentence case for documentation copy by default. Capitalize official product/plugin names and exact UI labels, buttons, or titles, but keep generic feature terms lowercase." The root AGENTS.md repeats it.

The page mixes both styles: the title and several headings use lowercase ("Using the canvas clipboard", "Dragging nodes onto the canvas"), while body copy uses "the Clipboard", "the Canvas", "Canvas page" (lines 12, 16, 23, 28-32, 39, 69, 80, 84, 88). Exact UI labels such as + Add page, Clear filters, Show nodes on canvas, and "Key Image" are correctly capitalized and should stay.

Typo in documentation text. The word "cliipboard" has an extra 'i' and should be "clipboard".

## Collapsing and closing

Use the minus icon in the Clipboard's header to collapse the panel without losing your added pages, or the close icon to hide it entirely. Your added pages and settings are saved per-canvas, so your saved pages will remain in the Clipbioard the next time you open it.
