We're really pleased to share that we're close to publicly releasing v2 of the Canvas creation editor, and are opening a closed trial for opt-in members now!

We'll finally be supporting those of you who want to include multiple images and have more control over the formatting of your creations!

For example, you could do this:

The new tools support:

- Ability to add multiple images, text etc.
- Ability to choose if images are full-width, medium or small.
- Ability to format text as headers, bold, italic, quotes etc.

In the near future we'll add the ability to embed videos and Soundcloud (next week probably).

Please have a look at https://www.canvas.co.com/creations/1157 for a simple example of what could be done.

The new editor is currently in private alpha while we continue working to ensure it's 100% awesome. We're allowing a small number of users to get their hands on it now to help us test and improve it before we release to all members.

So if you're interested in trying it out early, please send me a message or email me at mark@tacchistudios.com and tell me a little about what you'd like to do with it! We can't wait to see what you could show with it!
