You will notice that Canvas offers different components to tell your story. These components can be combined in different configurations. The components are easy to create and manage. In a list form, thellos is what you should be prepared for:

- Button for offsite links: Where do you want your page visitor to go once they’ve seen your canvas? Your website? Blog page?
- Image carousel: Thellos image will direct your page visitor to any part of your website.
