Hi , 😀  
Now our team wants to use Canvas in our new project. so I have below some questions:

1. Can using API generate Canvas for different users?
2. Can I add dynamics query conditions in Canvas (I try to add a query date condition, but When I export it and ran it on my website, the query conditions disappeared)

Thanks,  
Jiage

Can you explain better what you want to achieve? Kibana has a generic [API for Saved Objects](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/saved-objects-api.html), and you could use it to for example copy a given Canvas workpad (which is just a Saved Object) into different [Spaces](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/8.7/xpack-spaces.html) but maybe that is not what you want.

Canvas export does not support actual queries against your Elasticsearch database. This is clearly stated in the export interface.
