  1. Once inside, you will have the option to take a guided tour or close the tour prompt.

Frequently asked questions

Can I switch between the new and classic canvas multiple times?

Yes, you can switch back and forth between the classic and new canvas as often as you like for now. Just keep in mind that this option is temporary—eventually, we’ll fully transition to the new canvas, and the ability to toggle between the two will be removed.

Where can I provide feedback on the new canvas?

You can provide feedback through the Beta dropdown menu in the new canvas, under the "Send feedback" option.
