A canvas is simply an ordered list of layers. When you encapsulate a group of layers, you are making a new Canvas, putting the encapsulated layers into that new canvas, removing them from the Canvas they were previously in, and replacing them with a new {{l|Paste Canvas]] layer, called 'Inline Canvas'. The new Paste Canvas layer has a parameter called "Canvas" which has the new Canvas as its value.
Canvases can be {{l|Export|exported]], which adds them to the Canvases Dialog, from where they can be edited separately in their own workarea.
Sub-canvases can in turn be exported from these new workareas, building up a tree of canvases.
