Its very easy to mock up an idea in Draw but I couldn't find a way to crop the image to only show my draft and not the hole page.

Example - Area I would like to crop to get a smaller image when exporting as .png:

Select your image, go to File|Export and make sure to check [x] Selection. That way you can save an image that only consists of your own content.

To change the size of the sheet, go to Format|Page and use a custom size accordingly.

To only change zoom, so that only your image is shown, select it and right-click on the zoom control in the statusbar and choose "Optimal" - that will pick a zoom factor that fits the selection into the current window-size.

Thanks very much. I searched this function for a long time and couldn't find it. The 'check selection' part is not really intuitive and a pretty hidden UI element.

I'm sorry if my question was a bit unclear. Hope the illustration helps to better understand what I'm searching for. I don't want to crop an imported image in Draw, I search a way to crop the hole document to a smaller size, showing only the relevant content and not a big white sheet.
