Where are assets I create or edit in Canvas saved?

Not sure where your Canvas-created assets end up? Here's how saving works in Canvas.

Assets you create or edit in Canvas are accessible directly through the Canvas where they were made. Users who have visibility to your Canvas can see the items but cannot edit or save the output. They are not automatically added to a board but you can save them to a board manually at any time.

  1. In your Canvas, select the item(s) you want to save

  2. In the toolbar that appears, click Save

    1. Choose to Save to board and pick where in your workspace your new asset(s) should live
      ​
      ​OR
      ​

    2. Choose to download to your local drive

Items saved to your workspace from Canvas will be accessible to your workspace and associated board users. These items show the upload source as Canvas in advanced metadata so you can easily filter for these files through Air's powerful search.
