| Understand canvases | Learn when to use a canvas, page canvas, freeform whiteboard, sub-canvas, or project-connected canvas. |
| Learn canvas basics | Follow a learning path from creating a canvas to adding elements, comments, sharing, and export. |
| Create a canvas | Start a blank canvas, use a template, import content, or create one inside a project. |
| Page canvases and freeform whiteboards | Choose the right canvas format for structured pages, slide-style review, or open-ended spatial work. |
| Use canvas templates | Start from reusable canvas structures, choose the right template shape, save clean templates, and avoid stale placeholders. |
| Import PDF and Office files | Create a canvas from PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, or HWP files and review the converted result with comments and canvas tools. |
| Convert an uploaded document to a canvas | Turn a selected PDF or Office file already on a canvas into a connected sub-canvas without uploading the document again. |
| Use sub-canvases | Create connected sub-canvases when a large canvas needs focused child spaces, clearer navigation, or deeper work without crowding the parent. |
| Add and select canvas elements | Add text, notes, shapes, images, embeds, and files, then select and move them on the canvas. |
| Sticky notes | Capture workshop notes, ideas, votes, and follow-ups with sticky notes on the canvas. |
| Text objects | Add headings, labels, instructions, and readable annotations that stay directly on the canvas. |
| Shapes | Build structure, frames, diagram blocks, highlights, and visual grouping with shapes on the canvas. |
| Arrows and lines | Show flow, relationships, callouts, and connections between canvas objects with arrows and lines. |
| Connect objects with smart arrows | Use smart arrows on a freeform whiteboard to connect objects, keep diagram lines editable, and give AI Studio clearer previous context. |
| Pen drawings | Draw freehand marks, highlights, circles, and review annotations directly on the canvas. |
| Stickers | Add lightweight visual markers, reactions, and symbols without turning them into structured canvas data. |
| Use the rich text editor | Format text inside canvas objects, spreadsheet cells, comments, and chat with ALLO's shared editing tools. |
| Use the inline toolbar | Edit selected canvas elements quickly with the toolbar that appears near the selection. |
| Use the element menu | Open the full element menu for actions that depend on the selected canvas item type. |
| Lock canvas objects | Use object locks to protect important canvas layout and reference material from accidental edits, and understand who can unlock them. |
| Work with images, files, and spreadsheets | Preview, edit, replace, download, and manage media, file, and spreadsheet elements inside a canvas. |
| Work with file objects on a canvas | Upload, preview, download, review, and troubleshoot files, PDFs, Office documents, and other attachments on a canvas. |
| Work with image objects on a canvas | Review, preview, crop, replace, download, remove backgrounds, and comment on image objects without losing their canvas context. |
| Use links and YouTube embeds on a canvas | Add website links, rich link cards, and YouTube videos to a canvas, then preview, open, replace, and discuss them safely. |
| Use spreadsheet objects on a canvas | Create lightweight tables on a canvas, edit cells, use formulas and functions, add collaborative cell content, and manage row or column actions. |
| Preview canvas objects | Open images, PDFs, video, audio, text, CSV, links, embeds, and Office or HWP documents in a focused preview without leaving the canvas. |
| Use the hand tool | Pan around a canvas without selecting, moving, or editing objects. |
| Undo and redo canvas edits | Use undo and redo safely, understand what history covers, and recover when collaboration changes the result. |
| Use the minimap | Navigate large freeform whiteboards, understand the viewport marker, and know why page canvases use the slide rail instead. |
| Canvas shortcuts | Use keyboard and mouse shortcuts for tools, selection, dragging, resizing, snapping, drawing, search, and object actions on a canvas. |
| Use canvas pages | Add pages, move between them, and structure a canvas for review, documentation, or presentation. |
| Use the page menu | Manage page-level actions such as comments, page size, background, sub-canvases, duplication, and deletion. |
| Fold pages | Hide page canvas sections without deleting them, then unfold them when they should return to the active flow. |
| Page size | Resize one page, selected pages, or every page in a page canvas, and understand how page size affects automatic height, presentation, and export. |
| Use the slide rail and overview | Navigate long canvases, reorder pages, and find pages with unread object or comment activity. |
| Search inside a canvas | Use Command+F or Ctrl+F to find text in the canvas you are viewing without leaving the canvas. |
| Present a canvas | Show a canvas as a fullscreen presentation without the editing interface in the way. |
| Track object activity and unread changes | Use hover details, red unread dots, and slide rail counts to see what changed on a canvas. |
| Use the canvas header menu | Export, print, rename, restore, back up, open in desktop, or manage whole-canvas settings. |
| Export a canvas to PDF | Create a high-resolution PDF from a page canvas for offline review, archive, or handoff. |
| Share a canvas | Invite people, create share links, and choose who can view, comment, or edit a canvas. |
| Use a Canvas PIN or passcode | Protect a shared canvas with a 4-digit PIN so people need both access and the code before content opens. |
| Manage Canvas members | Review who can access a canvas, invite people by email, adjust roles, and choose between direct invites, share links, and private links. |
| Private links and share links in Canvas | Understand which Canvas links grant access and which links only send someone to an exact page, object, comment, or chat message. |
| Use the collaboration side panel | Review comments, activity, and canvas information from the right-side collaboration panel. |
| Collaborate live on a canvas | Use presence, cursors, online status, and follow-style navigation while working together. |
| Collaborate with guests | Let external collaborators open shared work with the right guest experience and permissions. |
| Use canvas chat | Open Team chat from a canvas, use it for live coordination, and move durable decisions into comments. |
| Use audio/video calls in a canvas | Start or join a canvas call, manage call controls, and keep the canvas usable while people talk. |

| Mention people and canvas collaborators | Use @mentions to bring the right collaborators into canvas comments, chat, rich text objects, and Inbox notifications. |
