# Arrange a moodboard on the canvas

Build a freeform board with images, colours and labels, live with your team.
**Canvas** turns a moodboard into a freeform board, like a real wall of references. It works on a track's, album's or team's **Inspiration** tab.

## Build the board [#build-the-board]

1. Open the **Inspiration** tab and switch the view to **Canvas**.
2. Click **Add saved images** to bring over what's already on your grid.
3. Copy any image or screenshot and press ⌘V (Ctrl+V) to drop it on.
4. Draw rectangles and colour them with your brand colours to build a palette.
5. Add text labels, like "profile" or "logo".
6. Move, resize, rotate and layer anything.
7. Paste a Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud or YouTube link to play it right on the board.

## Bring in a board from canvas.aden.space [#bring-in-a-board-from-canvasadenspace]

1. On [canvas.aden.space](https://canvas.aden.space), press **Save** to get a canvas file.
2. In Aden, open the **Inspiration** tab and switch the view to **Canvas**.
3. Click **...** next to the online count and choose **Open canvas file**.
4. Pick the file. It replaces the board for everyone, and **Undo** in the message brings the old one back.

Choose **Save as canvas file** in the same menu to take a board with you. A studio session's ideas board has the same menu.

The board saves as you work and updates live for everyone on it. You see how many people are there.

## Good to know [#good-to-know]

* The canvas sits on top of your saved items and never changes them. Grid and masonry stay simple galleries.
* Some sites, including Pinterest, block their images from being brought over. Paste those onto the board instead.
