ChatGPT recently unveiled the latest interface known as Canvas which would streamline the workflow of writers and programmers by delivering an outstanding piece of content.

Canvas departs from the previous chat box interface that efficiently works with ChatGPT on writing and coding projects beyond ordinary chat.

Canvas users would be capable of highlighting the specific lines of text or code generated by ChatGPT and directly editing them by utilising the shortcuts that let you adjust your content within the blink of an eye such as “Add logs” to debug your code, “Add comment” modifying the reading level, fix bugs, and more.

For coders, Canvas includes a “Port to a language” that translates your code into JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java, C++, or PHP.

Canvas will be automatically launched once ChatGPT detects any situation in which it would assist you. Furthermore, users can include “use canvas” in their prompts to open a tool and use it to enhance their project.

Additionally, users can use Canvas's back button to return to a prior version of their work if they so want. A larger academic community has started to grant ChatGPT to innovate their coding skills.
