Pinning Models to the Dock π
The Kanvas Designer dock allows you to keep your most-used models and tools within easy reach. You can pin any model to the dock for quick access, and unpin it just as easily.

- Quickly access frequently used models
- Customize your workspace
- Streamline your design workflow
How to Pin a Model π
- Hover over the model you want to pin in the component list.
- Click the pin icon that appears next to the model name. A tooltip will show “Pin To Dock”.
- The model will now appear in the dock at the bottom of the Designer.

How to Remove a Model from the Dock π
