Share Editable Canva Designs Link to edit for others | Template links
With Canva's growing popularity, sharing designs efficiently can make a huge difference in workflow and collaboration. Whether you're a designer, business owner, or creative enthusiast, knowing how to share your designs without compromising their integrity is essential.
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Open Your Design in Canva
- Start by logging into your Canva account.
- Navigate to and open the design you wish to share.
Step 2: Locate the Share Button
- Once your design is open, find the "Share" button located in the top right corner of your screen. This is your gateway to sharing options.
Step 3: Setting Up a Collaboration Link
If you want others to edit the same design, follow these instructions:
- Click on the "Share" button.
- Ignore the options for downloading or creating a brand template.
- Select the Collaboration Link.
- Click the drop-down menu next to "Anyone with the link" and set the permission to "Can Edit".
- Ensure the link settings are adjusted to "Anyone with the link" rather than restricted to just your Canva team.
- Once satisfied, press "Copy Link" to share this editing access with others.
Step 4: Creating a Template Link for Independent Editing
For those who need others to have their own editable copy without altering the original:
- Again, start by clicking the "Share" button.
- This time, select "Template Link" from the menu.
- Click on "Create Template Link" to generate a unique link.
- Copy the generated link to share it so that recipients can create their own version of the design.
Step 5: Understand Template Link Nuances
Recognising a few details about template links is crucial:
- Original Design Changes: If you edit the original design, anyone who accesses the template link after your changes will see them, but existing copies made from the link will remain unchanged.
- Testing the Link: When logged into your account, you might see an "Edit Template" option. This differs from what external users will see, which is typically "Use Template," ensuring your design is safe from unintended edits by others.
