Real-Time Collaboration Comes to Industrial Canvas - Private Preview
Hi everyone,
We're excited to share one of the standout features from our Q3 release: real-time, multi-user collaboration in Industrial Canvas — now in Private Preview.
The problem we're solving
Until now, Industrial Canvas has been a single-user experience. That meant teams working on the same problem couldn't work in the same space at the same time — creating silos and slowing down team-based decision-making.
What's new
Industrial Canvas is becoming a truly collaborative workspace, where multiple users can work together simultaneously — exploring data insights side-by-side and driving faster, unified decisions together.
Where this creates value — real use cases (not limited to):
- Root Cause Analysis — multiple engineers investigate different parts of a failure simultaneously and consolidate findings instantly.
- Field-to-Office Bridge — field operators and back-office engineers mark up the same P&ID together, in real time.
- Meeting Facilitation — run operational reviews or shift handovers with Canvas as a live, shared working document.
- Expert Consultation — SMEs jump into active sessions to advise without disrupting the workflow.
- Turnaround Planning — teams collaborate concurrently on complex work packages, cutting out linear delays.
- Isolation Planning — multiple engineers review and verify isolation plans on live P&IDs together.
Let's hear from you
Whether you're already exploring this in Private Preview or hearing about it for the first time — we want to hear from you.
- Already using it? Would love to get your feedback and use cases.
- Not in yet? Let us know and we'll get you set up.

Thank you,
Andreea.
