When you access the Canvas view initially, the page is in view mode and no objects are displayed. To create objects in the Canvas view, you must first change to edit mode, set up the objects that you want displayed in the view, and then after you have set up the objects, return to view mode to monitor the object status.
To switch to edit mode
Click the Preferences button 
in the toolbar.
The view is changed to edit mode, and the Canvas view Preferences dialog box is displayed in the Canvas view pane.
To return to view mode, close the Canvas view Preferences dialog box.
