Hello, I don't know why but for the past weeks, I can't seem to enlarge my canvas anymore. When I change it in the dialogue box, it isn't doing what it usually does: enlarging my canvas. I can't seem to find anything online.

Correct answer Ged_Traynor

Do you mean that nowadays, if I want to change dimensions of my work, I need to change the size of the art board?

Do you normally work with Artboards

I want this image to become square: my usual method is by enlarging the canvas. When I do that now, nothing happens apart from my image jumping to another area in my screen but I don't see any difference and when I go back to Canvas, nothing has changed either.

You're working on an Artboard, you can change the size of the Artboard in the properties panel

Uncheck Artboards

Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible to illustrate?

How would you notice the change, does the image contain discernible content?

Can you see this? I want this landscape shape to become a square. My usual method is to enlarge the canvas but now it isn't doing anything. [see previous message]
