Infinite Canvas: All your work, connected

Keeping track of briefs, links, assets, and feedback across docs and threads is messy. Context slips, versions drift, and the plan lives in everyone’s head.

Infinite Canvas is a visual workspace where everything sits on one board. Drop files, write notes, sketch flows, and connect ideas to tasks. When a section is ready, hand it to agents or workflows without leaving the canvas.

Every block is connected and traceable. Sources stay pinned, decisions are visible, and handoffs are clear. The result is a shared map that keeps teams aligned, reduces rework, and turns exploration into a clean path to output.

What it is

A visual workspace that holds all the work for a project on a single canvas. You can drop in existing assets, create new ones, open editors in place, then return to the same view with full context intact.

Canvases can sit inside other canvases, meaning large initiatives can break into clean sub-spaces that stay connected. Labels and search keep everything findable as work and the canvas grows.

Collaboration is built in. Teammates can work together in real time and leave targeted comments right where decisions are made.

Why it matters

Production rarely moves in a straight line. Infinite Canvas keeps exploration and execution in one place so ideas, drafts, and decisions stay connected. You open editors in place, keep context visible, and move from concept to asset without losing the thread.

It also scales cleanly. Nest canvases for bigger initiatives, label work so it’s findable, and anchor comments to the exact frame or file. Reviews get faster, handoffs get clearer, and new teammates can see how choices were made by scanning the canvas, not digging through folders.

How it works

• Unified project space: Keep briefs, concepts, edits, and outputs on one surface, then zoom from bird’s-eye to pixel level as needed.
• Freeform layout: Move, group, and frame items to match how the team thinks about the project.
• Direct editing: Open any item’s editor from the canvas, make changes, then drop right back into the same spot.
• Nested canvases: Create sub-canvases for shoots, markets, or workstreams while keeping a single source of truth.
• Labels and search: Add lightweight structure and find anything quickly across libraries.
• Comments and live collaboration: Review together, leave precise notes on objects or the canvas itself.

What you can try to build

• Campaign rooms: Put strategy, moodboards, scripts, storyboards, and final creatives on one canvas, with sub-canvases for each market.
• Production hubs: Track versions, reference files, and approvals in a view that mirrors your real workflow.
• Team workspaces: Give brand, performance, and creative a shared surface that replaces scattered links and threads.

Governance and access

Every canvas has clear permissions: keep it private, invite specific people to view, or give full edit access. Ownership starts with the creator, and you can hand it off if the project moves teams.

Editors can create, move, relabel, and ship work. Viewers can open assets, read context, and leave comments if you enable it. Lock frames or key layouts to prevent accidental changes, and resolve comments to keep decisions tidy.

Brand libraries and workspace rules apply by default, so assets stay on-brand and within your compliance settings as the canvas grows.

Where it fits in Pencil

Canvas sits alongside Pencil’s editors and agents. You can create on the canvas, jump into an editor to refine, then return to the same visual context. It is built for creative users first, and it scales naturally for brand, strategy, and agency teams who prefer to manage work visually.

What’s next

Infinite Canvas is moving toward beta. In the meantime, we will share teasers and walkthroughs that show how to organize work, nest canvases, and review as a team, so you are ready to put it to work on day one. 

Keep an eye on our socials and Community for the first looks. 

When it does land, bring a messy project in and watch how quickly it turns into one clear, shared canvas.
