Areas act as smart frames for your content. You can create as many areas as you want on a single canvas, grouping any objects you want. Then, you can guide collaborators and visitors through a mural from area to area to help them navigate. Or maybe you want to use the same mural to run several brainstorming sessions. You could have one area for each session to keep your thoughts organized in the same mural.
