What is the canvas?

Within the mural, the canvas is the space where you and your team will collaborate. Remember collaborative sessions in person? This is the equivalent of your whiteboard or flipchart paper. You and your collaborators can add content to the canvas within your mural. Each mural has one canvas that you can modify to meet the needs for your meeting.

When you create a new mural, the canvas starts at a default size. However, you can change the size and color of the canvas to fit your design specifications and style.

To change the size of the canvas:

  1. Enter the mural
  2. Right-click on a blank part of the canvas
  3. Select Edit Mural Size
  4. Choose to extend the canvas horizontally, vertically, or choose your own custom size
  5. Click Save

Make content stand out with a different background color. To change the color of the canvas: 

  1. Click the drop-down menu next to the mural’s name 
  2. Select Mural settings
  3. Choose a background color and press Save
