Each edit is not only a change in description but also a functional update that affects how the application behaves. Because the Canvas serves as the conceptual foundation of the app, every edit directly influences its logic, structure, and interactions. For instance, if a user changes a goal or adds a new process in the Canvas, the system will adapt the app’s corresponding modules, pages, or services to match that intent. This makes the Canvas a true source of control, where conceptual updates translate into operational outcomes. ### Ripple Effect The **Ripple Effect** is the **automated process that evaluates the impact of each edit** across the entire project. When a user modifies something on the **Canvas**, the system analyzes how that change affects interconnected components such as the Roadmap, pages, data models, and service APIs. This analysis ensures that all parts of the project stay in sync. For example, adjusting a data-related element on the Canvas could prompt the system to revise the Data Editor schema or update dependencies in the backend service. By managing these relationships automatically, the **Ripple Effect prevents inconsistencies** and ensures the app continues to function in alignment with the updated concept. ### Planner The Planner acts as the **coordination and approval layer after the system** performs the ripple analysis. It compiles a summary of all detected changes, showing how updates to the Canvas will affect other parts of the app. Users can then review and approve the suggested modifications before they are applied. Once approved, the Planner executes the necessary updates across the system, refreshing the Roadmap, regenerating relevant app modules, and ensuring that the live app remains coherent with the latest version of the Canvas. This process ensures that both the conceptual and operational layers of the product evolve together, allowing users to manage complex projects without breaking functionality or alignment. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.quantumbyte.ai/components/canvas/editing-ripple-effect-and-planner.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
