You can find specific templates within the Canva editor by using the Design tab and its search functionality or by browsing the available options.
When you are working on a design project in Canva, you have access to a vast library of templates directly within the editing interface. This allows you to easily switch or add pages based on pre-made layouts.
Steps to Finding Templates in the Editor
Here is the straightforward process to locate and use templates while editing your design:
- Access the Toolbar: Look at the toolbar located at the bottom of your screen in the Canva editor.
- Tap on "Design": From the options in the toolbar, tap on the "Design" tab. This opens a panel displaying various design templates and styles.
- Browse or Search:
- Browse: You can scroll to see what's available within the Design panel. Canva often shows popular, recommended, or recently used templates here.
- Search: Alternatively, if you have something specific in mind, use the search bar to look for a template. You can type keywords related to your design's theme, purpose (e.g., "presentation", "social media post"), or style (e.g., "minimalist", "modern").
- Apply the Template: Once you find a template you like, simply Tap on a template to apply it to the page you are currently viewing or editing. You can often choose to apply it to the current page or replace all pages with the template's style.
This method is particularly useful when you've already started a design but want to explore different layout options or find inspiration for additional pages within the same project.
Comparing Search vs. Scroll
Both browsing and searching have their benefits when looking for templates in the Design tab:
| Method | Description | Best For... |
|---|---|---|
| Scroll | View a curated selection of templates. | Browsing for inspiration or general styles. |
| Search | Type keywords to find specific templates. | Finding templates for a particular theme or topic. |
By following these steps, you can efficiently navigate the template library available right inside the Canva editor to find specific designs that meet your needs.
