Hello, I am trying to export a canvas using this:

> **[Export objects API | Kibana Guide \[7.9\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/saved-objects-api-export.html#saved-objects-api-export-request-request-body)**

Now the request requires a type, but when I set canvas it says  
{"statusCode":400,"error":"Bad Request","message":"Trying to export non-exportable type(s): \*"}

There should be a list of types that can be used with the endpoint

You can see the types on the [GET object request](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/saved-objects-api-get.html).

`Valid options include visualization, dashboard, search, index-pattern, config, and timelion-sheet.`

Looks like there could be more options than those.

Try `canvas-workpad`. Guess an easy way to get them all is click on Type as I did below to see them all.
