# Canvases

> Arrange projects side by side on a freeform board for comparison and review

A canvas is a freeform board where you lay out multiple projects side by side. It's the best way to compare designs, present a campaign to stakeholders, or run a review across several projects at once — everything on one zoomable surface.

<Note>
  Canvases are available on the Team plan.

## Creating a canvas

1. In your projects view, click **New** and choose **New canvas**.
2. Give it a name (or skip that for later).
3. The empty canvas opens, ready for projects.

## Adding projects

Open the **Projects** panel in the canvas sidebar and click **Add project** to pick from your team's projects. Each project appears on the canvas as a live preview. Drag items in the sidebar to change their order on the canvas.

### Showing variations

If a project has [variations](/editor/variations), you can display them all on the canvas at once. Open the project's menu on the canvas and turn on **Include variations**, then choose which ones to show. This is a great way to review an entire campaign's worth of variations at a glance.

## Navigating the canvas

Use the controls in the corner of the viewport, or their keyboard shortcuts:

* **Zoom in** (`=`) and **Zoom out** (`-`)
* **Zoom to 100%** (`0`) for actual size
* **Zoom to fit** (`9`) to frame everything at once
* **Pan tool** — click the hand icon, or just hold Space and drag

## Sharing a canvas

Canvases publish just like projects: click **Share**, toggle on **Publish to web**, and use **Copy link** to send a read-only view to anyone — no Denada account required.

One important detail: visitors can only see projects that are themselves published. If your published canvas contains unpublished projects, a warning appears in the canvas editor with a one-click **Publish all projects** link that publishes them all at once.

See [publishing to the web](/exporting/publish-to-web) for more on how published links work.
