Dear Folk,

I've opened canvas and went through the overview info, but can't figure how to use some features.

To start...

When using the Text effects, the menu shows different geometric figures with "text' in the center. I can move the box or circle onto the canvas, but how do I insert my own words instead of the "text"?

Thanks,

Mike

    Double click on the word "text" and enter or paste whatever text you want in the box.

    Pastor Tanner has a YouTube channel in which he shows various features of Canvas. You can probably catch more of what he's saying if you cut the speed to 50%, but nonetheless he has good videos. Mark Ward also used to work for Logos, and has a video on using the Canvas tool that I think is good (under logos rather than WardonWords).

    Yes, Canvas is simply the Logos implementation of drawio …I don't recall its new name.

    Haha.. cutting the speed to 50% works for me. He runs…. I saw what he made a while ago, but I wish there were more training videos on Canvas. I will check what @MJ. Smith referred to above.
