Loops and the canvas
Start a loop
Start a loop from a question, or from a name.
Workspace admins and users can start loops. Viewers cannot.
Start from a question
- Select New loop on the Loops page, or New Loop under the box on your home page.
- In the box, type the question you want answered. The placeholder reads What are you trying to learn?.
- Press Enter. Meridian creates the loop and opens it. Prima names the loop and drafts hypotheses from your question.
Press Esc to close the box without creating a loop.
Start from a name
- Select New loop.
- Select Start from a name. Meridian creates an untitled loop and opens it.
- Type the loop's name.
Shortcuts
- The New loop plus button next to the loops list in the sidebar creates an untitled loop straight away.
- Cmd+Shift+P on a Mac, or Ctrl+Shift+P elsewhere, does the same from anywhere in Meridian.
A new loop is open to everyone in the workspace. To limit it to its members, see Make a loop private.
