The Community is a gallery of canvases people have shared: architecture diagrams, retrospectives, roadmaps, wireframes, sketches and more. You don't need an account to browse it, like a canvas or make your own copy.
Searching
One search box holds everything you are looking for, written as words:
- Plain words search the title, description and tags, for example
checkout flow. #tagfinds canvases with that tag. Add several, like#aws #event-driven, and a canvas has to have all of them.category:planningkeeps to one subject, such as Planning, Workshops or Design & Wireframes.sort:lovedputs the most liked canvases first, andsort:copiedthe most copied. Without one, the newest come first.is:mineshows only the canvases you have shared (see Your own shares).
You can type these yourself, or use the buttons inside the right of the search box, which write the same words for you:
Choose Category to keep to one subject, or All Categories to see everything again.
Choose Tags to see the most used tags. Pick one to add its #tag to your search; pick it
again to take it out.
Choose the sort button (it reads Newest to start) to order by Most Loved or Most Copied.
On smaller screens the buttons show just their icons. The cross just after your text clears the words, tags and category you searched for; the sort and My Shares stay as they are. Your search stays in the page address, so you can bookmark it or send it to someone.
Your own shares
Signed in, choose My Shares in the search box to see only the canvases you have shared. Above them, Your Shares adds up how many you have shared, and how many likes and copies they have had altogether, so you can see how they are doing. Each card shows its own likes and copies, and you can still search, filter and sort within them.
A canvas taken out of the Community after reports shows here marked Hidden; only you can see it. Choose it to open the canvas in the editor.
Looking at a canvas
Open a card to see the canvas's page: a live preview you can pan, zoom and page through, the author's description and its tags. Open Canvas shows it full screen. Canvases in the Community are always read-only, and their comments are private.
Liking a canvas
Choose the heart on a card or on a canvas's page to show the author you liked it. Choose it again to take your like back. Likes are kept per browser, and Most Loved sorts by them.
Making your own copy
Choose Make a Copy on a canvas's page, or in the bar across the top of an open canvas. A copy of the whole canvas opens in the editor as your own canvas, with every tab, named after the post you chose. Change anything you like; the original never changes. Each person who copies a canvas counts once towards its copy count. You don't need an account: as a guest the copy belongs to this browser's guest identity, and it moves into your account if you sign up later.
A canvas's page also lists More Like This: other canvases in the same category to look at next.
Reporting a canvas
If a canvas is spam, offensive, shows someone's personal information or isn't the author's to share, choose Report on its page. In Report This Canvas, pick a reason (Spam, Offensive, Personal Information, Copyright or Something Else), add a note of up to 300 characters if it helps, and send it with Send Report. A canvas reported by three different people, on different networks, is hidden automatically, for good. Nobody reviews posts by hand: the reports decide.
