Canvas collaboration
Invite people to a single board by email as editors, commenters or viewers. Collaborators see cursors and changes live, and guests only see boards shared with them.

Invite
- Open the invite popover. Choose the invite button in the toolbar.
- Enter an email. The address is cleaned and checked before anything is sent.
- They accept. They get a pending invitation, or follow a join link at
/canvas/join/<token>after signing in.
Someone invited to a canvas does not become a member of your workspace. They see only the boards shared with them, under Shared with you in the sidebar.
Live
- Cursors of the people on the board are shown, with each agent’s cursor beside them.
- Changes are broadcast as they happen and saved after a short pause.
- Edits made by an agent glow briefly so you can see what changed.
