blog / Obsidian Canvas support
Turn any .canvas file in your vault into a realtime collaborative whiteboard with live cursors!
We’re so pleased to announce that one of our most-requested features is now available: with the release of plugin version 2.0.0, we now support Obsidian .canvas files as proper collaborative workspaces. After updating, every .canvas file in your vault automatically support realtime multiplayer: see edits as they happen, work together on, and see your team members’ cursors zoom around.
Note that this requires your entire team to upgrade to 2.0.0. We’ve added an email-driven team upgrade system and better in-plugin update checking so that you’ll get an email when you need to update, but you can always update now!
While we don’t yet have a video to show you (we’re working on it!), we encourage you to get started with screen.garden to get all the infinite whiteboard power of group planning right inside Obsidian.
Let us know what you think! We have so much more planned.
