API reference / Canvas

Share a canvas with a link

Gives a canvas a guest link people without an account can open: view to look, edit to change it too (guests can't upload images, turn things into tasks or ask the troop). off takes the link away, and reset gives a new one, so the old one stops working; either closes guests' open boards at once. Whoever created the canvas, owners and admins.
