# Canvas & Items

In Manyfast, you build out your plan by adding Items onto a blank Canvas.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The available Item types are continuously updated and may change.
{% endhint %}

### Canvas

The screen in the tree View where information is displayed and edited.

### Item

Items are the individual elements you can use on the Canvas.

An Item represents a piece of **information about the product** you are planning. Items are classified by the nature of that information into Requirement, Feature, Specification, and Page Menu.
