# Canvas
> An infinite canvas for brainstorming, organizing ideas, and connecting your thoughts - with all your Fabric content ready to use.
## What is Fabric Canvas?
Fabric's canvas is a spatial whiteboard where you can add any Fabric content, organize it, draw around it, write, add post-its and more.
You can even paste, drag or embed content directly to the canvas.
If you paste a link, it'll turn into a Fabric bookmark that lives inside the canvas.
***
## Can I add the same file to multiple canvases?
Yes, you can reference any file from your library on as many different canvases as you want - it's the same file shown in different visual layouts.
***
## What's the difference between embedded content and referenced content?
Embedded content (like images you upload directly) lives on the canvas itself. Referenced content links to files in your library - if you delete the library file, it disappears from the canvas too.
***
## What's the difference between preview cards and interactive windows?
Preview cards show a thumbnail of your file, while interactive windows let you actually work with the content (read PDFs, play videos, etc.) without leaving the canvas.
Interactive windows are coming soon.
***
## Can collaborators see all the content on my canvas?
If you reference library content as a preview, collaborators can only access it if they have permission to view that file. Embedded content is visible to everyone who can access the canvas.
***
## Can I draw on the canvas?
Yes, you can draw freeform, add shapes, arrows, and annotations directly on the canvas.
***
## Do embedded videos and live content actually work on the canvas?
Yes, all embeds are fully interactive - you can watch YouTube videos, edit Figma designs, play Spotify, and interact with any embedded content directly on the canvas.
***
## Can I share a canvas as read-only?
Yes, share canvases with view-only access so others can see your work but can't edit or move anything.
***
## Can I organize my canvases into folders?
Yes, canvases are files in Fabric - organize them in folders, tag them, and find them through search like any other content.
***
## How many people can collaborate on a canvas at once?
Multiple team members can work on the same canvas simultaneously with real-time multiplayer cursors showing everyone's activity.
***
## Does canvas work on mobile?
Canvas works best on desktop and tablet devices where you have more screen space for visual organization.
