+## Canvas
+
+Canvas is a new core plugin for Obsidian. It allows you to lay out your notes on an infinite, spatial canvas.

-## Improved
+Use Canvas to brainstorm, synthesizing your notes, or as your new Obsidian workstation.
+
+To get started using Canvas, press the "Create new canvas" button on the left-side ribbon.
+
+## Customizable Ribbon
+
+Ribbon items can now be rearranged (drag & drop) or hidden (right click on the ribbon for options). Configuration is also available in Settings (`Appearance › Ribbon menu`).

+
+**Note:** if you are using an existing plugin to manage the ribbon, this might interfere.

+### Developer Changelog
 
-- Ribbon items can now be rearranged (drag & drop) or hidden (right click on the ribbon for options). Configuration is also available in Settings (`Appearance › Ribbon menu`). Note: if you are using an existing plugin to manage the ribbon, this might interfere.
-- Plugins can now be sorted by "Recently updated."
-- Added theme version information to the debug modal.
-- Added "Close window" command (`Ctrl/Command + Shift + W`).
-- Pressing `Shift + Enter` in the editor Find Dialog will find the previous instance.
+We have added a [Developer Changelog](https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-api/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) to our API repo. Moving forward, we will keep developer-facing changes catalogued here.
 
-## No longer broken  
+### Metadata API
+
+We've added a new metadata API for easily adding and updating frontmatter. For more basic usage information, check out [the guide in the changelog](https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-api/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#v110-2022-12-05--insider-build).
+
+### In-App Improvements
+
+The community plugins list can now be sorted by "recently updated." This should improve plugin discovery for more actively developed plugins as well as help users identify which plugins are still actively maintained.

+
+For theme developers, we've also added theme information to the debug modal. When users submit theme related issues, now you can ask them to send the debug modal information to accelerate the information-gathering phase.
+
+Finally, you can choose to include a `fundingUrl` in your plugin manifest. Users will be shown a link in-app to donate to you. You can put your Buy Me A Coffee links or Ko-fi here.

+## FAQ
+
+**Q.** Is Canvas going to be available on mobile?
+
+> Yes! _Eventually._ The mobile version is still in development and won't be available until the new year. Canvas is one of our most ambitious undertakings to date, so it will take some time to properly adapt it to the mobile experience. We appreciate your patience.
 
-## Developers
+**Q.** Why don't Canvas files show up in Search or Backlinks?
