Canvas and artifacts

Select "Canvas" from the create menu. A canvas opens as a full-screen whiteboard with an editable title and drawing tools.

The toolbar at the bottom of the canvas provides standard drawing tools: select, draw, arrow, text, and shapes. These are the default tldraw tools for freeform visual work.

Click the embed tool in the toolbar to place a document from your workspace onto the canvas. A picker appears showing documents in the current space. Select one to embed it as a card on the canvas. Double-click an embedded document to view its content.

You can also create new notes directly from the canvas. When you embed an image, it converts to a native canvas image for better handling.

Multiple people can work on the same canvas simultaneously. Each person's cursor is visible in real time with their name and a color. Use the collaborator panel to follow someone else's view as they navigate the canvas.

Artifacts are structured visual documents generated by AI from your conversations. Unlike notes (which are freeform text), artifacts have a specific layout and visual design tailored to their type. They turn meeting discussions into presentation-ready materials.

Generate artifacts from two places:

• Meeting outcomes: Click "Generate artifact" in the outcomes panel during or after a meeting. Choose the artifact type and AI generates it from the transcript and screen captures.
• Chat: Ask the AI in any chat to create an artifact. The AI uses the conversation context to generate it.

Artifacts are created as proposals that you review before they become visible in your workspace.

Storyboard

A visual narrative with scene cards, designed for pitch decks and presentations. Each scene has a title, description, visual notes, and an optional AI-generated image. Scenes are laid out in a scrollable grid.

You can drag scenes to reorder them, move scenes to a "Probably not relevant" section to set them aside without deleting, or remove scenes entirely.

Customer journey

A before-and-after comparison showing workflow improvements. The "before" side shows pain points and quotes, the "after" side shows the improved workflow with success criteria. Toggle between before and after views to compare.

Slides

A full presentation deck with a hero slide, takeaway cards, themed sections, action items, and a closing slide. The deck includes its own navigation controls, progress bar, and keyboard shortcuts for presenting. Sections support multiple component types including callouts, checklists, numbered grids, and screenshot galleries.

All artifact text is editable inline. Click any title, description, or text element to edit it directly. Changes are saved automatically.

For larger changes, open the artifact in chat ("Open in chat" in the toolbar) and describe what you want changed. The AI can update specific items, add new content, remove sections, reorder elements, and regenerate images.

When reviewing an artifact as a proposal, use the iteration chat to refine it before accepting. Each round of changes creates a new version you can compare.

Artifacts support the same access controls as any document. Share with specific people or make available to everyone in the space.

Link sharing also works for storyboards, customer journey maps, and slide decks. Generated images and screen-share screenshots resolve to signed URLs in the public viewer so all imagery renders, and slide decks with full-bleed layouts use the entire viewport. Artifacts opened from a public link are fully read-only: text is non-editable, drag handles and drop zones for storyboard scene reorder are hidden, and delete buttons are removed. Open the same artifact inside the app and inline editing, drag-and-drop reorder, and delete actions are all available.
