Who can use canvases?
👨👩👧👦 Supported on any Air plan
✏️ Anyone who has access to the workspace can view and create canvases.
Generate new variants, ideas, and edit images in bulk. Canvases provide a dedicated space to create AI-powered assets based on the content within your boards, seamlessly integrating with your existing creative workflow.
From the workspace sidebar
On the workspace sidebar, you will now find a dedicated Canvases section. Clicking this allows you to view all canvases you have worked on and those available across your workspace. Additionally, the sidebar features a collapsible Recent Canvases menu, providing quick access to the canvases you last visited.
When you navigate to the main Canvases page, you will see three distinct tabs:
Recent: Displays the most recently created canvases in your workspace, showing the creator's name in the thumbnail, the canvas name, the last updated time, and privacy level.
My canvases: Houses all the canvases you have personally created.
All canvases: Displays every canvas you have access to across the entire workspace.
From board views
When you navigate into a specific board view, you will notice two tabs at the top: Content (which holds all your assets and files) and Canvases. The Canvases tab allows you to see any canvases that you or your team have created and connected specifically to this board.
To create a new canvas from within this board, use the blue Create button in the top right corner, which has replaced the previous Add button.
From canvas view
From a new canvas, you're able to see the board that your canvas is connected to. You can also move between other boards in your workspace while staying connected to that same canvas by easily toggling the sidebar open and navigating to other boards. Additionally, you can move content into the canvas from any of the boards, and any canvas asset can be moved or deleted as needed.
Create a new canvas to generate a new workspace where you can create AI-powered assets based on the board's content.
From the title's edit menu (three dots) you'll have options to rename the canvas, move it to a different board, or delete it from the workspace.
The interface allows you to seamlessly toggle between your board's content and the canvas view. You also have options to undo and redo actions, share your canvas, and open the canvas in full screen, which collapses the board view for a larger workspace.
At the bottom of every canvas, you will find a footer containing summary information related to both the board location and the canvas itself.
Left side: Expand nested content (if applicable), download the board, and view a summary of how many assets are within your board and how much storage is being used.
Right side: View a summary for the canvas, detailing how many items are within it and how many credits are available to you.
If you need more space to work, you can open the canvas in full screen. Alternatively change the size of the canvas by resizing the sidebar if you prefer a different layout.
When you're working with the canvas, a toolbar at the bottom provides several helpful utilities. You have the ability to use the select tool for specific images, or change your selection to a hand tool to easily move the canvas around. You are also able to upload images directly from your desktop or storage, add text using the text field, and change the zoom level of your canvas.
From the top right of the canvas, access the 'More options' menu to move your canvas to another board, rename it, or delete it from the workspace. You can also use the dedicated buttons to undo and redo changes, or choose to share a canvas more broadly.
From Canvas Agent
To start designing, click the Agent button in the bottom right corner to launch the AI agent sidebar. Here, you can enter your prompts to generate content.
You also have the ability to choose which AI model you prefer to work with. By default, the model is set to Auto, but clicking the Auto button allows you to toggle this setting off and select from several different LLMs and other AI models.
Keyboard shortcuts
Finally, selecting the keyboard icon in the bottom right corner brings a view of the available keyboard shortcuts. These shortcuts allow you to more easily navigate with the canvas open.
