Hi,

I have created a multipage workpad within canvas, within the workpasd, if i share to PDF it only generates the PDF with 1 page rather than the whole workpad. What am i missing?

Thanks  
Phil

Hi Philip

Thanks for reaching out. I just tried it and it works in my setup. Which version of Kibana are you using?  
Many thanks!  
Best,
