Hi,  
i trying out the new canvas feature and like it. But how can i change to the second canvas to create zones?  
Do i miss a button or is only one canvas avaible at the moment?

My usecase is to put hot beams on one canvas and “audience safe” clips on another canvas.  
After that i can easily adjust the canvas zones on my laser beams.

I don’t really understand the question! Maybe have a look at last month’s zoom call for an overview on how canvases work? They are only for graphics and are not useful for beams.

Section about canvas zones starts around 14 minutes in
