Writing Blocks Are Not a Replacement for Canvas

Thanks for sharing such a detailed breakdown, @cruz_diaz.
I can see the distinction you're making here: writing blocks help with content creation, but they don't address the persistence, organization, and single-source-of-truth workflow that Canvas provided for long-term projects.
You've highlighted some clear pain points around discoverability, navigation, and maintaining evolving documents across multiple sessions. We'll make sure this feedback is forwarded to the team and logged for consideration.
Appreciate you taking the time to articulate the workflow impact so thoroughly.
