The custom canvas created by a user gets stored against the `customCanvasState` key that you pass to Tokens API. This is explained in detail [here](https://docs.embeddable.com/deployment/custom-canvas). In order to see the dashboard that a user has created, simply generate a token using their `embeddableId` and their `customCanvasState` and use that to render an embeddable and you’ll see exactly what they see. You can even pass `customCanvasReadOnly: true` to the Tokens API to make sure that you’re only seeing a read-only view of what they see.
