I need to make several banners (300 x 600, 320 x 50, 468 x 60), and I want to know if I can make the bigger one, and after finishing, just resize the canvas and adjust minor details, and not make everything again.

Specially when I have animations and some elements.

Hi Javier,

You can use the Page PI to change the Width and Height properties. (To open the Page PI, just click in empty space on stage and you will see the Page PI in the right pane.)
After you resize the canvas for each banner, make sure you use Save As to save the file with new name so that you can keep separate copies of your banner. 

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Emily (GWD Team)

Thanks. It looks so obvious now!
Perhaps because I was expecting it would appear on file->properties, or something in the menu.

Hm, why images in assets folder are not shown when preview is made, if I copy and paste code from document A (160x600px banner size) to document B (300x600px) banner size? Even if routes of assets are logical - and accessible?

I can't find the Page PI, unless you're talking about the Position and Size area where you can change the width and height of the stage. Doing that doesn't affect the elements on the page, so I'm still stuck manually resizing everything being careful not to destroy my animations. What gives? I must be missing something obvious.

tmonk15,

Resize the page only changes the page size. You still need to manually layout the elements in the new size. There is a responsive feature in GWD that you can use to develop one ad for all sizes using media rules.  You still need to layout the elements in each different media rules/size.
