Grab a Template from “All Your Designs”
Unlock the power of efficiency by utilizing this favorite hack. Click on “More,” then “All your Designs” to incorporate any of your previous designs into your current project seamlessly.
Lock Element
Before knowing this Canva hack, I was used to being confused when I want to drag-and-drop one specific element, and it is under layers, it messes up others. So confused!!!
Avoid accidental mishaps by using the lock icon in the top toolbar to secure elements in place. This is particularly useful when adding multiple elements on top of each other and you want certain elements to remain “frozen” in position.
Position
Achieve visual harmony effortlessly by leveraging the position button in the top toolbar. Use the tidy up or alignment buttons to evenly space a set of elements or group of text boxes, ensuring your design remains visually balanced.
