How-tos
Short workflows for the canvas. New to PuMi? Start with Getting started.
Create a new project
- Sign in from the home page.
- Open Dashboard and click New project, or use New canvas from home when signed in.
- The canvas opens for that project. Rename the project from the top bar if you like.
Work on the site map
- Select the Site map tab (first tab in the center of the top bar).
- Add pages with Add (plus). Drag page nodes to lay out your IA.
- Connect pages with edges to show navigation (e.g. “Sign in → Dashboard”).
- From a page node, use Open wireframe (or click the page’s tab) to design that screen’s layout.
On Site map, Clear page links (trash control) removes all edges between pages. (Undo history is only tracked on page tabs, so use Clear carefully on the map.)
Map blocks on a page
- Click the page tab you want (not Site map).
- Add blocks for major UI regions (hero, sidebar, list, etc.).
- Connect blocks with edges where flow matters inside the screen.
Edit a wireframe
- On a page tab, ensure you are inside the page canvas (blocks visible).
- Open the wireframe editor for the page’s main surface (from the block UI: Page wireframe / Lo-fi wireframe).
- Place elements, set labels, and link to other pages where the UI navigates.
- Use Back to return to the block canvas.
Premium: AI blueprints (templates) in the toolbar insert starter layouts on a page—they are disabled while you are on Site map.
Export for specs or AI tools
- Click Export in the canvas toolbar (opens the side panel).
- Pick Markdown,
.cursorrules(Cursor),CLAUDE.md(Claude), or JSON. - Copy to the clipboard or Download a file; paste into your assistant, README, or repo.
Undo and history
Undo and redo apply only when a page tab is selected (block canvas and wireframe for that screen), not on Site map.
- Use Undo and Redo in the footer bar; they are disabled when Site map is active.
- Shortcuts (when not typing in an input): ⌘Z / ⌘⇧Z on macOS, Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z on Windows and Linux—same rule: switch to the page you are editing first.
Collaboration and appearance
Premium unlocks team-oriented controls (e.g. invites) and canvas themes (dot grid and edge styling). If you see a paywall modal, confirm your plan on Billing.
