  Canvas is a feature of the SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) that allows users to create interactive visualizations and stories. It provides a drag-and-drop interface for creating visualizations, combining multiple data sources, and creating interactive stories. Canvas also allows users to share their visualizations and stories with other users.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use Canvas, users must first connect to their data sources. Once connected, users can drag and drop elements onto the canvas to create visualizations. Users can also combine multiple data sources into one visualization. Finally, users can create interactive stories by adding elements such as text, images, and videos to the canvas.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating visualizations in Canvas, it is important to consider the type of data being used. Different types of data require different types of visualizations. For example, if the data is numerical, a bar chart or line graph may be more appropriate than a pie chart. Additionally, it is important to consider the size of the data set when creating visualizations. If the data set is large, it may be necessary to use a more complex visualization such as a heat map or tree map.
