Canvases: Arrange a canvas using columns

 What you’ll learn in two minutes or less: How to change the way that information in a canvas is displayed and organised.

Create up to three columns for text, lists and images, then easily drag them around to your liking.



Go for it!

  1. Create a new canvas or open an existing one in a new window.
  2. Add something to the canvas, such as text, a list or a file.
  3. Hover over what you’ve added and click on the six dots icon.
  4. Hover over Add column and make a selection.
  5. To rearrange content in columns, click and hold the six dots icon, then drag the content to a new location in the canvas.

    Here’s an example: moving a checklist in a canvas around by dragging a column to the right

Tip: Drag and drop files, such as PDFs, to a canvas and arrange them into columns.

Nice one!
