Infinite Canvas: One Surface for Everything Your Team Creates

Creative teams do not struggle with making things. They struggle with finding things, organising things, and getting people aligned on things.

Work lives in one view. Assets in another. Templates somewhere else. The review happens over email or a separate tool. By the time everyone has seen the latest version, someone has already moved on to the next brief.

Infinite Canvas is built to fix that.

What Infinite Canvas Is

Canvas is a freeform visual workspace inside Pencil. Open it from the left navigation, and you get an infinite surface where you can bring together everything associated with a project: work items, assets, templates, AI-generated outputs, and more. Arrange them however you want. Zoom in to inspect detail. Zoom out to see the full picture.

If you have used Figma or Miro, the interaction model will feel familiar. The difference is that Canvas is not a standalone whiteboard tool. It is connected directly to every part of Pencil. Click any item on the canvas and you can open it in the full editor, access its chat history, or send it to a workflow. The creative work and the collaboration surface are the same platform.

Nested Canvases: Folders That Actually Work

Projects get complex. One campaign might span dozens of assets across multiple formats, markets, and review stages. Canvas handles this with nesting: create canvases inside canvases to build whatever structure your project needs.

A top-level canvas for the campaign. Sub-canvases for each market. Sub-canvases within those for each channel. There is no limit to how deep you can nest. It is the organisational flexibility of folders combined with the visual clarity of a freeform board and the full creative power of Pencil underneath.

Collaborate in Real Time

Canvas is fully collaborative. Multiple team members can be on the same canvas simultaneously, arranging items, reviewing work, and adding content. You see each other moving around the surface in real time.

This matters because creative review and alignment are often the slowest parts of the process. When everyone can see the same surface, point at the same work, and access the same editors and chat, the back-and-forth compresses.

Connected to Everything in Pencil

Canvas is not an isolated feature. It connects to the rest of the platform:

• Create new work directly from the canvas using the Add Content button, which gives you access to any Pencil editor or agent
• Open chat for any work item to see its conversation history or start a new one
• Switch to table view for a structured breakdown of all items on the canvas, sorted by type (work, assets, templates, brand items, sub-canvases)
• Use labels to tag and search items across your entire library
• Integrated with brief mode and workflows, so canvas becomes the central organising layer for your entire creative process

What Is Coming Next

Canvas is live now, and the roadmap is active. Coming soon: sections for grouping and colour-coding, sticky notes for leaving comments, text layers for describing what each area of the canvas is about, and threaded comments directly on canvas items. Each of these additions deepens the collaboration surface without adding complexity.

Why This Matters

For enterprise teams, the cost of fragmentation is inefficiency and misalignment. When creative work is scattered across tools and views, review cycles stretch, approvals stall, and the distance between brief and final output grows.

Infinite Canvas closes that gap. One surface. Every asset. Every conversation. Every editor. Your team stays aligned because they are literally looking at the same thing.

Infinite Canvas is live now. Open it from the left navigation and start organising.
