Canvas not opening sidebar

I have a paid account and got an alert this morning that I have access to Canvas, so I thought I would try it out. I switched the model to ‘ChatGPT 4o with canvas’ but it doesn’t open a canvas window as shown in the help about canvas, and there is no icon at the bottom right to open such a window – it just gives me the normal ChatGPT 4o interface. I have tried this in both the latest Chrome and in Edge. I’ve tried the suggested help options to no avail.

I have the same issue - any chance of a reply from ChatGPT with a fix?

Ask for canvas in the prompt, it will show if it did not automatically.

“Please do blah blah in canvas”

Asking for canvas in the prompt also didn’t work

It doesn’t work for me either.

Same problem here, I can’t see the side bar

Have you tried that?

Saying with canvas actually worked. Thanks!!

Yes, I tried it several times yesterday, in both Edge and Chrome and it didn’t work. I tried it again today and now it is working, so I guess either it took a while for something to propagate so that it worked in my account, or someone has fixed something behind the scenes in the interim.

Worked for me … good idea!!!
