# Onboarding your team

## Inviting your team

There are several ways to share a canvas with teammates:

1. Invite team members from the `members` tab on the home page
2. Select `share` in the navigation menu to share your canvas with team members.
3. Select `comment` in the canvas and select `@` to mention an existing team member.
