Tips for Using Canva Folders Effectively

Now that you know how to create and organise Canva folders, here are some tips to help you use them more effectively:

  2. Group designs by project or client: Organise your designs by project or client to keep them easily accessible and to avoid confusion.

  3. Create subfolders: If you have a lot of designs for a particular project or client, create subfolders to keep them organised.

  4. Share folders with clients or team members: Share folders with clients or team members to collaborate more effectively and ensure everyone has access to the latest designs.

  5. Keep your folders up-to-date: Regularly review and update them to keep them organised and avoid clutter.
