 * Is there a way to set a page that uses the Gutenberg block editor to be a full
   width blank canvas?
 * I can obviously turn off the side bars in the layout options, but I would like
   to remove the header and footer also.
 * Thanks,
 * Mike

 * As a temporary fix, the plugin Blank Slate seems to do what I want.
 * But if there is a way to do it within the theme, that would be better.

 * You can also achieve that with the [Nimble Builder plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/nimble-builder/).
   
   The recent beta feature allows you to set your own header and footer. Or to simply
   not display any header and footer if you prefer.
 * Once you have [installed Nimble](https://docs.presscustomizr.com/article/347-installing-the-nimble-builder-plugin),
   you can activate the header and footer customization this way :
    1. Open the live customizer, and navigate to the Nimble Builder > Site Wide options
    2. Open the Beta features accordion, and check the box
    3. Publish and **refresh the page**

 * The Nimble Builder allows you to build your own header and footer, or to use 
   the active theme’s ones. You can create a header and footer that you’ll apply
   site wide, and then set it on a page basis when needed.
