Matt will present Drupal Canvas, a new solution that bridges the gap between visual editing and modern frontend development.

Drupal Canvas isn't just another page builder—it is a true site builder designed to reinvent how we manage content and layout in Drupal.

➡️ True Site Building: Moving beyond unstructured landing pages to design full content templates and manage global regions like headers and footers visually.

➡️ Component-Driven Design: A unified editing experience that treats SDCs, Blocks, and Code Components as first-class citizens.

➡️ A Modern Editor: Features like continuous saving, selective publishing, and a layer-based approach to page composition.

➡️ The "Code Component" Workflow: How developers can build React/JS components locally using the CLI and render them directly in the editor.
