Editor Page Canvas
The Page Canvas area gets used to build your application when working inside the Editor.
The Page Canvas is a WYSIWYG editor, meaning you can see how your app will look as you build it. To build your user interface, you can drag and drop components onto the Page Canvas.
Most often, when developing an App in App Builder, your Pages will be built using a combination of Layouts and Views.
