CanvasSelect participants or labels, connect participants, resize headers, and refine positions.

The source panel opens on desktop and starts closed on compact screens. Use Hide source and its collapsed rail, or View → AAL source, consistently across all three designers. Hiding preserves draft, cursor, find, and scroll state. Open Source or Inspector through View. On narrow screens, opening one panel closes the other; desktop panel preferences return when space is available. Inspector scrolls vertically. Shared participant identity and sequence-local appearance are labeled separately.

Show all displays the interaction hierarchy with shared participant headers. Group identity sits above the participants; the Inspector keeps identity and appearance controls separate.
