Does Canvas support interactivity through features like click-to-filter, drill-down, zoom, tooltips etc?

@sreed, Canvas has very limited interactivity at the moment. The original idea was that Canvas was designed for presentational purposes as opposed to data exploration, however, this kind of interactivity has been coming up more recently so it is something that we are considering for our future roadmap.

Thank you @tims for the prompt answer. I understand that Canvas is for **communication of conclusions** to the stakeholders and I feel even in this usecase, interactivity is very useful for the consumers of the information. Hope to see interactivity features very soon!
