Canvas pages can contain documents, dashboards, and slides. Page creation and editing require the relevant project permissions.

​
Before you begin

Sign in and select the organization and project containing the page. To create a page, you need permission to create pages; to edit one, you need permission to modify it.

​
Create and edit a document

  1. Open Home and find the Pages panel. Choose Create root page, then Document. The new page opens as Untitled Page.
  2. Select the title and enter a name. Enter your first line in the empty command block, such as This is my first page., and press Enter to commit it. When editing existing text, click outside the text block to commit the edit.
  3. Page edits autosave. Wait for the displayed Saved status, then navigate away and reopen the page from Pages, or reload it, and verify the title and content.
  4. To find an existing page, select it in Pages or use Search pages. Open it and edit its content if you have permission.

​
Add a heading and list

For a small meeting note, use the empty command block beneath your first line:
  1. Type / and select Heading. Enter Meeting notes, then click outside the heading to commit the edit.
  2. In an empty command block, type / and select Bulleted List. Enter Review the plan and press Enter. Enter Share the results in the next bullet, then click outside the block to commit it.
  3. Wait for Saved, navigate away, and reopen or reload the page. Check that the heading and both bullets appear.
An embedded database record editor may instead require Save changes. Use that control for record edits and check the result; the page’s autosave status does not confirm an unsaved record edit.

​
Troubleshoot

If the creation or editing control is unavailable, check the selected project and ask an administrator about your access. If a save error appears, preserve unsaved text and resolve the error before navigating away. If page creation has an uncertain outcome, check Pages before creating another copy.

Application pages and spatial widgets

A dedicated application page displays a published Hosted App or HTML Dynamic UI rather than document blocks. Use Published web apps to open one and the CLI publication guide to create its page. Dashboard widgets also include Spatial View, Range Summary and Linked Comparison for configured spatial data. These differ from ordinary document text blocks; their data source, coordinate mapping and comparison settings determine the view. Review the widget configuration and source data before interpreting a spatial result. Creating a document alone does not configure a spatial dataset.
