Customizing your circuit¶
Name¶
Click the circuit's name (shown as "Untitled circuit" by default, in the top bar) to rename it. It becomes an editable text field with confirm and cancel controls:
- Type the new name, then either:
- Click the checkmark (or press Enter) to confirm the new name
- Click the X (or press Escape) to cancel and keep the previous name
File / Edit / View dropdowns¶
Three menus in the top bar give you file management, editing, and workspace controls.

Note
Undo/redo, cut/copy/paste, and register management are also covered in more depth on the Circuit page - this menu is just the entry point for those actions.
View¶
Controls which panels are visible and how the circuit is arranged:
- Panels - toggle Code editor, Probabilities, Q-sphere, and Statevector on/off
- Circuit - toggle Phase disks on/off
- Alignment - switch between Freeform, Left, and Layers layout modes
- Reset workspace (⇧⌘R) - restore the default panel layout
