I used Canvases for the first time this morning and was blown away! My first question to the team was “How can I share these”? Hope we have an answer soon. :slight_smile:

In the meantime, I asked the agent to export my canvas as HTML which I could then save as a PDF. Not necessarily “simple”, but it works.

I second this, i’ve been using cursor to generate certain reports for otel analysis and overall documents i can present to my techical /non technical colleagues. I’ve mostly been doing this via .md files and mermaid, canvas is just on another visual level and its amazing but Its not really easily sharable, if we could just have a simple print to pdf i think it would be good enough for my use case.

I have been doing this hack until they add this feature:

  1. Open Inspect Element (right click on the canvas to get the option)
  2. Open Network Tab
  3. Reload the page (right click on the canvas and reload)
  4. In the network tab you will see the build html page direct link (the first one in the network tab)
  5. Right click on it → Copy → Copy URL
  6. Open in browser
  7. Print as PDF (cmd + p / ctrl + p)

Another easy way:

  1. Open Inspect Element
  2. Open console
  3. Type in window.print() (type in allow pasting if warned)
  4. Print as PDF

Cheers.

But cursor team should definitely add it. Its a very essential thing!

yeah static webpage sharing should be good for most usecases.
I finally decided to host the ouput as i require a bit of persistent data.
