A canvas is the fastest way to show off all the important bits of your product or business. This one pager pulls together all of the elements included in a section. It’s designed to give internal stakeholders a high-level view of what products are on the product team’s plate, and what each one is looking to achieve.

Top Tip

You can add more "sections" by using rich text headers within existing fields, splitting them into two, like in the below example.

Quick Access Links to Ideas and Feedback

On the individual product level, the canvas includes quick links to access ideas and feedback linked to the product. By clicking on either, you will be sent to the ideas list with the preset filters for the product in question.
