Design reports your stakeholders will actually use
Design Canvas turns trusted Connect reports into polished, multi-page documents — built with blocks, components, and AI, then exported in presentation quality.
Everything you need to ship a polished report
From importing live report content to final export — one visual workspace for business storytelling.
Powerful building blocks
Compose with document blocks, business widgets, and visual icons — so layouts feel intentional, not improvised.
High-quality export
Export crisp PDF or PNG output when the design is ready — ideal for leadership reviews, partners, and archives.
AI for faster pages
Describe the page you need in plain language. AI drafts a professional layout so you start editing, not designing from zero.
A powerful page editor
Edit text inline, restyle blocks, and control page backgrounds — a full design workspace for multi-page reports.
Built for report storytelling, not slide hacks
Design Canvas keeps content tied to Connect data while giving teams the layout control of a modern design tool.
01
Flexible creation from your reports
Turn an existing Connect report into reusable canvas content — then design without rebuilding every chart from scratch.
- Click Import document to browse existing Connect reports.
- Preview pages, then import all pages to bring charts, tables, and text onto the canvas.
- Work from live report blocks in the sidebar — restyle and rearrange without rebuilding from scratch.
02
Powerful building with blocks, components, and icons
Assemble multi-page reports from a rich library of content blocks, layout components, and visual assets — then arrange them into a clear narrative.
- Browse pages, components, and shapes from the left rail while you work.
- Place headings, metrics, insight boxes, and charts as editable building blocks.
- Navigate multi-page documents with thumbnails so every section stays organized.
03
A powerful editor for exact control
Click into any block to edit text, format styles, and tune page properties — with the precision of a design tool and the familiarity of a document.
- Select any element to edit inline with a contextual formatting toolbar.
- Adjust page backgrounds, colors, and page numbers from the inspector.
- Move between pages while keeping layout, zoom, and export controls within reach.
04
AI support for faster pages
With blocks already imported, Ask AI can suggest a full page layout in one click — turning raw content into a polished report structure you can refine.
- Open Ask AI and choose a prompt like “Suggest a layout for the report.”
- AI arranges imported blocks into a structured multi-section page with titles, columns, and visual hierarchy.
- Edit any generated section afterward — you stay in control of the final design.
05
Export with presentation-grade quality
When the story is ready, export a clean PDF or PNG — and keep version snapshots for major iterations.
- Export executive-ready PDF or image files without leaving the canvas.
- Review every page and thumbnail before you publish.
- Save version snapshots so major design milestones stay recoverable.
