Canvas Guidelines and Best Practices

There are some additional best practices and guidelines to keep in mind when exposing your applications as canvas apps and making them available to mobile users.

Canvas makes it easy for you to integrate Web applications with the Salesforce app at the user interface level. However, the user experience in the app is different than in the full Salesforce site. You’ll want to make sure you design your canvas apps for mobile users and be sure to test them in the mobile environment.
