How to Import a Canvas

Importing restores a canvas — and its embedded images — from a JSON file exported earlier.

Prerequisites

A canvas JSON file exported from Gavana (see Export a Canvas)

Steps

Step 1: Go to the Canvas Library

Open the Canvas Library.

Step 2: Click Import canvas

Click Import canvas in the header and choose your exported .json file.

Step 3: Confirm the import

Gavana restores the canvas (or canvases, if the file contains more than one) and shows a success message like “Imported 1 canvas.” Embedded images are restored through local image storage, then synced normally.

Tips

If the import fails, you’ll see “Import failed. Please choose a valid canvas file.” — make sure the file is an unmodified Gavana export.
Imported canvases appear as new entries in your library; they don’t overwrite existing ones with the same name.
