Summary

Adds anonymous Kanvas UI captures (Sep 2026) into screenshot-blind / broken-asset documentation pages, and restores the missing Operator filters figure.

Companion work:

Capture limits (please read)

  • All shots are anonymous / signed-out (Sign In visible). Dry Run, Deploy, Undeploy, Publish, and cluster-backed Operator views are unavailable or empty-state.
  • Some MeshMap-era chrome elsewhere in the docs will still look older than these captures.
  • designer-autosave.png and designer-validate-results.png are the same frame (autosave + validation toasts).
  • designer-configurator.png is not a per-component configurator — it shows the Layers panel (and a component palette). Embedded on layout-and-layers with an honest caption; configuring-components was skipped.
  • designer-layouts.png is a Getting Started / empty-design shot with an on-canvas callout to the layout control.

Pages updated

Page Shots added
designer/saving-designs autosave, file menu
designer/sharing share modal (new capture alongside existing)
designer/publishing-designs details / publish modal
designer/_index dock / workspace hub
designer/layout-and-layers layout callout + layers panel
designer/comments comments empty panel
operator/_index operator-filters.png restored + no-context empty state
tasks/designs/validating-designs Actions menu + validation toasts
getting-started/_index auth login
getting-started/starting-scratch getting-started hub

Assets added

  • content/en/kanvas/designer/images/audit-2026-09/*.png (12 files)
  • content/en/kanvas/operator/images/operator-filters.png
  • content/en/kanvas/operator/images/operator-no-context.png
  • content/en/kanvas/getting-started/images/auth-login.png

designer-layers.png is stored in the audit set for inventory but not newly embedded (Actions+Layers overlap with the Actions shot used on validating-designs).

Still screenshot-blind / follow-up (signed-in or missing captures)

  • designer/configuring-components — need real configurator with a selected component
  • designer/merging-designs
  • designer/relationship-evaluation
  • operator/interactive-terminal
  • operator/log-streaming
  • operator/performance-testing (no shot in this sprint — skipped)
  • Deploy success / dry-run flows on tasks pages (Deploy disabled anonymously)
  • Multiplayer cursors, notification center deep dives, and other signed-in-only chrome

Test plan

  • Preview Docsy build / Netlify preview for updated pages
  • Confirm image paths resolve (especially ../images/audit-2026-09/ and ../../../designer/images/...)
  • Spot-check captions for honesty on anonymous / approximate shots
  • Confirm Operator filters figure is no longer a broken/missing asset

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added screenshots and captions across Kanvas Designer guides covering the workspace, comments, layout controls, Layers panel, publishing, saving, and sharing.
    • Added getting-started guidance for signing in, including account saving, sharing, deployment, and available login options.
    • Added a screenshot of the new-design hub and noted sign-in requirements for select features.
    • Added Operator screenshots for empty states and resource filters.
    • Expanded design validation guidance with anonymous validation states and result notifications.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~10 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to dc23e

The screenshots are useful, but the publishing instructions need a sign-in prerequisite and several captions need accessible semantic markup. These are limited documentation issues with low merge risk.

Use semantic figure markup for the six screenshot captions.

The repository requires appropriate semantic HTML5 elements, and its documentation guidance recommends <figure> with <figcaption> for captioned screenshots. Hugo wraps each Markdown image in <div class="md__image">; the following italic paragraph remains a separate paragraph and is not associated with the image.

Convert the six cited pairs in these files to <figure> with <img> and <figcaption>:

Add the sign-in prerequisite before Step 3.

The publishing workflow states that Publish To Catalog is disabled while signed out, then immediately instructs readers to fill out the publication form. It does not link to the [Kanvas sign-in guidance]({{< ref "kanvas/getting-started/_index.md" >}}). Add a sign-in instruction or link before Step 3.
