The canvas is the blank page where you can create workflows. What you can create depends on your needs and imagination. So go ahead and start, there are no limits.
## Starting
#### Connect your Antennas
Open Revit, Navis or Excel and the program's Antennas will automatically appear in the platform (in case it doesn't happen click refresh). Each Antenna will be represented by a color to identify the [Nodes](https://howto.engyn.us/the-anatomy-of-visual-programming/untitled).
If you have multiple instances opened you can identity the Antennas by clicking the Add-in in the program.
#### Create the workflow
Create your desired workflow connecting the [Nodes](https://howto.engyn.us/the-anatomy-of-visual-programming/untitled) with [Wires.](https://howto.engyn.us/the-anatomy-of-visual-programming/wires)
#### Run the workflow!
The results will be shown according to the workflow output.
