Yes, you can change the dimensions by clicking File Resize in the navigation bar. Changing the dimensions will destructively rearrange the existing elements on the canvas (i.e. if you go from one size and change it to another, the elements will move around and not be restorable if you select the original size). Currently, the only way to go back to previous settings is to undo the size changes.
