Today we are looking at Drupal Canvas, an exciting new way to build pages and theme sites in Drupal.
In this talk, from DrupalCon Vienna, Lauri Timmanee and Bálint Kléri of Acquia demonstrate many of the features of Canvas.
Some things Cancas can do:
- Component based visual site building tool
- Uses conventional Drupal blocks, Single Directory Components, and code components that can be built in the front end
- Create and build multiple pages before publication
- Multi-step undo
Their talk dove into the main functionality of Canvas, but they only had a few slides. The majority of it was a demo of building a site with Canvas, using many different features of the system. It was a great way to show how it really works in practice, rather than just the theory.
At the time of the talk, RC1 of Canvas had just been released, but just a few days ago it became stable with a 1.0 release. It’s going to be a core feature of Drupal CMS 2.0, which will be launching early in 2026.
