# Classic view

Classic is the original YouDesign Freelucy editor. Your primary element sits in the center of a canvas, with its relationships drawn as connected nodes around it. If you have used earlier versions of Freelucy, this is the view you know.

{% endhint %}

## Add a relationship

You can add records from the [Data Hub](/freelucy/work-in-the-app/data-hub.md) two ways:

* **Click to add.** Use a record's **Add to Upstream** or **Add to Downstream** action. This is the most forgiving path.
* **Drag to add.** Drag a record onto the circular drop indicator that appears next to the primary element on the allowed side. This indicator is the only valid drop target in Classic. If you release the record anywhere else on the canvas, it snaps back and nothing is added. That is expected, not a bug.

You can also add from a node's context menu with **Add to Upstream** or **Add to Downstream**.

## Remap and remove

* **Remap** by dragging a connected element from its current connection point to the one on the other side.
* **Remove** by dragging a connection point away from the primary element and releasing.

See [Remap a relationship](/freelucy/work-in-the-app/remap-relationship.md) and [Delete a relationship](/freelucy/work-in-the-app/delete-relationship.md).

## Navigate and inspect

* **Jump to** a connected record from its context menu to recenter the canvas on it.
* **Open form** to open the underlying ServiceNow record in a new tab.
* **Hover a connection** to see its relationship type and direction.

## Layout and canvas controls

Classic gives you controls for arranging and focusing the canvas:

* **Switch layout** between horizontal and vertical.
* **Filter the canvas by table** to hide or show the records from a given table. Filtering changes only what you see, not what is committed.

{% hint style="warning" %}

{% endhint %}

## Export

Export the canvas as an image to share or attach elsewhere. The export includes staged edits and honors your current theme, so a dark-mode export comes out dark. See [Inspect, navigate, and share](/freelucy/work-in-the-app/inspect-navigate-share.md).
