=== Create a workpad
|
|
|
|
When you create a workpad, you'll start with a blank page, or you can choose a workpad that is already started for you.
|
|
|
|
. Open *Canvas*.
|
|
|
|
. Choose one of the following options:
|
|
|
|
* To start with a single, blank workpad, click *Create workpad*.
|
|
|
|
* To create a workpad from a template, select *Templates*, then select a preconfigured template.
|
|
|
|
* To import an existing workpad, click and drag a workpad JSON file to the *Import workpad JSON file* field.
|
|
|
|
For advanced workpad examples, add a {kibana-ref}/add-sample-data.html[sample Kibana data set], then select *Canvas* from the *View Data* dropdown list.
