Shopify Canvas gives Sidekick a shared visual workspace for store design

Shopify announced Canvas, a visual design workspace where merchants edit their whole store alongside Sidekick. The agent works on real theme files, checks generated code and reviews screenshots as changes appear; merchants can zoom, pan, inspect responsive layouts and make manual adjustments. Canvas is rolling out over the coming days and does not replace the existing editor. This newly discovered provider launch retains its October 1 publication date rather than being relabeled as an overnight release.
