Find and use canvas templates

Canvases can be created from scratch, or you can start one from a template. Browse the available templates in your Slack workspace or Enterprise Grid organization to help you get started on a project, or to standardize the formatting across processes you document often.

Tip: If you’re on the Enterprise Grid plan or have purchased the Slack Sales Elevate add-on, you can also create and share custom templates.
