Manage custom canvas template settings

Custom canvas templates can be shared in your workspace or Enterprise Grid organization to standardize long-form content in Slack. Owners and admins can manage which members in their workspace or org can create and share custom canvas templates. On Enterprise Grid, Org Owners and Admins can also manage permissions for publishing custom templates to the canvas template gallery.

Choose who can create canvas templates

Everyone (except guests) can create and share canvas templates, but you can restrict this permission to certain roles if you’d like.
