+The `BlockCanvas` component is used to display the canvas of the block editor. The canvas is an iframe containing the block list that can be manipulated. The component handles keyboard navigation across blocks and injects content styles into the iframe.
+
+## Development guidelines

+
+Renders a block editor canvas with configurable height and custom styles.
+
+```jsx
+import { BlockCanvas } from '@wordpress/block-editor';

+function MyBlockEditor() {
+    const [ blocks, updateBlocks ] = useState([]);
+    return (
+        <BlockEditorProvider
+            value={ blocks }
+            onInput={ updateBlocks }
+            onChange={ persistBlocks }
+        >
+            <BlockCanvas
+                height="400px"
+                styles={ customStyles }

+## Related components
+
+Block Editor components are components that can be used to compose the UI of your block editor. Thus, they can only be used under a [`BlockEditorProvider`](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/HEAD/packages/block-editor/src/components/provider/README.md) in the components tree.
+
+The BlockCanvas component typically works in conjunction with:
+- `BlockList`: Default child component for rendering blocks
+- `BlockTools`: Wrapper component providing block manipulation capabilities
+- `WritingFlow`: Handles writing flow and keyboard navigation
+- `EditorStyles`: Manages editor styling
