In this article, you will learn how to create an InDesign document, and consider the features that Customer's Canvas supports.
 
## New document
 
To create a new document, click **File** > **New** > **Document**. The **Preset details** panel will open, where you can set up a new document. Let's fill in the following properties to create a new one.

1. **Width** and **Height**. You can define the width and height for your design in these input fields.
 
2. **Units**. You can change the physical units, for example, to `centimeters`, `millimeters`, or `inches`.
 
3. **Orientation**. Customer's Canvas supports both the `portrait` and the `landscape` orientations.
