Canvas view displays all the proofs in a folder as an interactive, resizable workspace where teams can view, arrange, and review multiple proofs at once. It’s designed for visual collaboration across full campaigns or creative sets. To create a folder and add your proofs to it, see Organize your proofs using folders: create a folder.

Think of it as a virtual whiteboard for seeing the big picture, organizing assets spatially, and moving seamlessly between reviews.  

Available on: Pro Enterprise

Use to:

• Collaborate across media types
• Compare variants (e.g., regionalized ads, A/B designs)

• Arrange proofs visually in freeform or structured layouts
• Resize proofs individually or set global scale
• Select any proof to open it for markup, feedback, and decision
• View large campaigns or creative sets in one place

Archived items and folders are not visible in Gallery and Canvas views.
