3. Name Your Design
Keeping your designs organized is easy in Canvas:
Once your blank canvas appears, look to the top left of the screen. You'll see 'Untitled' with a small pencil icon next to it.
Click the pencil icon.
Type a descriptive name for your design (e.g., 'April Campaign').
Your work is automatically saved in real-time, so you never have to worry about losing your progress!
4. Understand the Canvas Workspace
Your Canvas workspace is designed for intuitive creation:
The large central area is your blank canvas, where all your visual elements will come together.
On the right side, you'll find the main control panel, offering options for Shapes, Text Styles, Images, and Background.
The top bar displays your design's name, along with options to Download your finished artwork and a 'Saved' status, confirming your changes are secure.
