To confirm the default view (white canvas), use the Switch Background button to flip the page background to white. The dark canvas does not convey how your document will print, or the default view your collaborators will see when they open it. Indeed, reds, blues, yellows, and other colors will be shifted slightly to mute the overall effect of the color palette and look more visually pleasing with the new dark background. Colors within your document will also be shifted to accommodate the new color contrast. With Dark Mode, you’ll notice that the previously white page color is now a dark grey/black.

Use the Switch Background button to toggle the canvas between Dark and Light M ode.

This will default to dark ribbon and canvas.

To turn on Dark Mode, select View > Dark Mode.
