What is Artdesk?

The Artdesk is your personal dashboard for accessing drawings that you own or have participated in, your user Feed, and more. Below is a brief explaination of the different sections followed by more detailed info of a few of them.

The is the landing page for your Artdesk. It will contain all of your drawings created here, recent one's you were active in, as well as a glimpse of the top Art Jams that are live right now.

Your view of created drawings can be set to either List or Grid by these buttons at the top of the grid.

The Select Columns button at the bottom will let you change what information is visible in the List view.

The Art Jam widget at the top shows the top 9 active Art Jams where you can easily jump in and draw with other people. this widget cannot be hidden yet. If you find that it takes up too much space on the screen, consider reducing your browser zoom.

The Recent section shows the most recent drawings from your Participated in Page.

You can organize your drawings by creating folders to sort them into. Tap the New Folder button and enter a name for it.

To move a canvas into the folder, you can either drag it into that folder or open the action menu and select Move.

This section will show any drawings that you create or have joined that currently have users active in them.

This only shows drawings from your or others' Artdesks. It does not show Artspace or Art Jam drawings. These have dedicated pages in their respective sections.

The Feed is where you can make posts and view what the people you follow have been posting.

You can post regular text, canvas links, and external links here. To post images, you will need to the Gallery page of your profile.

The Participated in section shows both your own canvases and those created by other people that you have joined. Most recent canvases appear at the front of this list.

You can also choose to remove drawings from this section by tapping on the hamburger icon and selecting Remove from list.

Drawings can be moved to the bin where they will remain for 30 days until auto-deletion. You can also choose to delete drawings permanently sooner than that, or empty your bin entirely of all drawings.

Tapping on the hamburger icon will give you the option to permanently delete, move or retore the drawing. When a drawing is restored, it is returned to it's previous location in your Artdesk.

At the top of your Artdesk is also a search bar. The search function is only for canvas or folder names. You cannot search for users with this.

You can choose to search across your Artdesk and All Artspaces (Everywhere). Or you can choose to search in specific areas by tapping on the icon that looks like a keypad.
