Canvas objects

A canvas contains a collection of objects. Each object type has its own features and options and you can read more about these in the following pages:

  • Cells
  • Text and markdown
  • Shapes and tools
  • Sticky notes
  • Frames
  • Images and videos
  • Embeds
  • Stamps

In addition, there are generic operations that can be applied to all (or multiple) objects:

  • Layer properties and alignment
  • Locking objects
  • Scaling objects
