Sessions

The first thing you need to know about when creating a new Canvas are sessions. When you open a new Canvas, we start creating a new session dedicate to you. A session is basically a server optimized for data analytics that we provide to you.
Session
This is one of the smart things about Less. We give you computational resources when you need them. It also means that 1000 users can work independently in the same workspace without affecting each other. It takes about 30-60 seconds to create a new session. When your session is ready, you’ll see this 👇
Connected
This means that you can now start working on the Canvas. You can always restart your session by clicking on the options menu in the top right corner and selecting Restart session.

Now that you have your session, you can start building your model. That typically starts with an Input, Directory or Manual Input tool.
You can also view the demo in full screen here. Read more about all the tools here. Check out the Academy if you want to get started building.
