Canvas
The design canvas, plus a gallery of everything you have saved on it.
Where this lives: Tools > Canvas
What this is
Canvas is where you compose graphics, flyers and cards.
It is the richest composer in Rivr. It holds your own pictures and saves back into your library.
What you see
The title reads Canvas. Above it sits the word Tools.
A panel headed My designs holds a gallery of everything you have saved, each with its picture, its name and its size.
When you have saved nothing, the panel says so and invites you to compose below and press save.
The editor sits under the gallery and is always open. It carries a field for the design's name and a button reading Save Design.
Once you have a design open, a button reading New design appears on the gallery panel.
What you can do here
- Compose something and keep it. See Make a design.
- Open something you made before. See Reopen a design.
How to
Make a design
- Open Canvas under Tools.
- Compose in the editor below the gallery.
- Type a name in the design name field.
- Press Save Design.
- It appears in the gallery above.
Reopen a design
- Open Canvas under Tools.
- Find the design in the gallery.
- Press its card. It opens in the editor below.
- Press New design when you want to start a fresh one.
A design with nothing editable behind it is greyed out and says so when you hover it.
What changes for you
You must be signed in to reach Canvas.
The same editor is reached from the Design button on the create page, and from the admin part of a group's press tab. This page is the one that also gives you the gallery back.
Saved designs are stored as pictures in your own library, so they also appear under Docs.
