Canva Docs | What we know so far

Will Canva Docs beat Microsoft Word and Google Docs? Canva recently announced they will launch a brand new feature: Canva Docs, meant to "create engaging, visual documents", and which would allow you to "supercharge your content with text, visuals, and data visualization". As a Canva Verified Expert, I shall not release any confidential information I have early access to, but I can still give you a pretty good idea of how promising Canva Docs are and what you will be able to do with them. You should also know that the Canva Docs launch date is still unknown. Are Canva Docs genuinely REVOLUTIONARY? Let's find out together - and share your opinion in the comments!

It will be interesting to see what Interactive or multimedia assets actually work when the canva document is exported to PDF. I think to be a huge game changer would be if you could export your Canva document as an EPUB3 file.

[@TeamRonDi]

Let’s see what they will come up with 🤔

[@strawberrycouture]

I'm excited! I can't wait for all of this to come out. This should work even more for my PDF crochet patterns.

[@LetiziaCamboni]

I'm late but I just heard the news about Canva Docs today and I must say that it seems like it's actually answering VERY WELL to a big need I've been having for a while. As a mentor, I'm creating A LOT of documents for my clients and I was always struggling to find which tool I should use : Notion Pdf exporting feature can generate pretty unexpected results, Google doc is quite limited designwise and not the smoothest to use and Canva has the biggest potentiel in terms of visual results but is sooo constraining, it really feels like using the wrong tool to create visually enhanced text documents... But now, with Canva docs, it looks like the game has changed and I cannot wait to use it! 🤩

[@TeamRonDi]

You summed it up beautifully Letizia 👌 I completely agree (though I haven’t yet tried Notion), and Canva Docs, if executed correctly, has the potential to become our go-to solution for visual docs.

[@thienthongsopha6015]

This is the most useful feature in the market so far!

[@TeamRonDi]

Glad you think so 👍

[@LazyUni]

Ronnie, excellent video! 😎 now you'll have to teach us how to embed everything in canva docs! Btw, can you make an updated version of the app Text to image... shhhh.... I found something new when I went to play with it yesterday! Awaiting your reply...

[@TeamRonDi]

I’m curious now… what did you find with Text to image?

[@annavannoni]

@@TeamRonDi instead of 2 images, you now get 4! 😎eh?

[@armandogutierrez2880]

Hi Ronny, I'm crazy learning about using tools like Canva (new user - Premium User) your videos are so useful and I'm progressing learning so much with every thousands of tips that you're gave us. I have learned and used google docs, Apple Pages Word and other similars for taking notes like Notion, will be really useful to have pages + split each other because if you want to create a new title in documents you have to calculate or to make a preview of the whole document. This feature will be nice to comment to development people, don't you think so? thanks for your help.

[@TeamRonDi]

Thanks Armando! I completely agree with you that it would be nice to have a page split feature and also a way to preview your entire document. My gut feelging is that Canva will eventually release different doctypes for Doc: Docs for Print, Docs for the web, ...

[@mynarafi007]

Waiting for upcoming

[@TeamRonDi]

Same here 🙌✨

[@EssenceMauvice]

Awesome info! Since you are an affiliate - and I don't know where to add suggestions, lol - I think it would be helpful to be able to enable showing printing guides to see where the page will cut off if it needs to be taken out of Canva or printed. The only setting I see is to show the page layout or not. Am I missing something?

[@TeamRonDi]

No, you aren’t. I agree with you it would be nice to have a more print-friendly version of Canva Docs. Let’s hope this will come (maybe as a specific Docs document type) soon 🤞

[@lizzrichard3725]

Your Skillshare courses have videos without transcripts. Could you please upload transcripts to them. Thank you

[@TeamRonDi]

We’ll look into that.

[@ManojGuptahome]

Great 🎉. How easy will docs be on mobile. Sharing in case of non profits is difficult right now. Is there a possibility of improvement.

[@TeamRonDi]

Canva promises Doc to work great on mobile, so let’s hope for the best 🤞

[@HappyBeeTV-BeeHappy]

Will it allow making e-books that's uploadable to Amazon Kindle?

[@TeamRonDi]

I don’t know the answer to that, we’ll see when they launch Docs.

[@silviagrim]

I'm wondering if it's gonna be possible to download the file as a .docx document , so that it will be editable later on by someone else who doesn't use Canva

[@TeamRonDi]

We do not have that information so far 🤔

[@MerryLynch]

Terrific information. Is there a way to make a document with live links and bring that into Mailchimp with the links still live? I am having a terrible time figuring out how to use a newsletter template with links and share it with my email list. Any thoughts?

[@TeamRonDi]

Hi Merry, The Canva - Mailchimp integration will be useful to create graphics/visuals to insert in your newsletters. But you’ll still need to add your links directly into Mailchimp. I’ve made this video here about that process: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHSZmWV4oc6aa5o

[@sandylebatard9378]

I need to do a BINGO card and have the numbers and or text and or elements change on each page is there anyway to do that now with the new technology

[@TeamRonDi]

Maybe, look into the Bulk Create feature if you are a Pro user. Here, check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIqcgJKhq7pggLs

[@WEBVDO]

If Canva can replace MS Excel/Google Sheets/Numbers/Smartsheet/AirTable, then I'm all in!!!!

[@TeamRonDi]

We’re not quite there… there’ll always be a spot for these softwares. What Canva is doing is trying to build a complete suite to help us communicate visually 😊

[@Schauk]

Roni, why do you wear a frame without lenses?

[@TeamRonDi]

[@30JLETO]

Can't figure out how to add a new page in Canva Docs. I see on the help tool in the bottom corner to click the symbol for a new page, but the symbol doesn't appear anywhere on the page. When you download it into a PDF, it'll separate pages on its own, but no clear indicator where one page ends and another begins.

[@TeamRonDi]

Hi Devin, thanks for that feedback. I believe Canva Docs are predominantly designed for online publications for now ... I also look forward to more print features that will allow us to have more control over pages, layouts, ...

[@MarinaArtDesign]

Just one question. Does Canva DOC have feature when you move one image entire document text does Parkour? That is so much fun in M Word. :D

[@TeamRonDi]

I’m not sure what you are referring to with Parkour 😅

[@dianabeard8154]

Does Cavna have something like Google forms by any chance?

[@TeamRonDi]

You can try “Typeform” under the “App” button.

[@AslamCheval]

How can one create a page break or a new page in Canva Doc's? I want to start a new chapter on a new page and I just cant find how to create a break

[@TeamRonDi]

Since Canva Docs are not made to be printed, they don't have this simple feature. All you can do is leave some space.

[@ManojGuptahome]

Is canva thinking about some kind of automation or macros.

[@TeamRonDi]

We don’t really know at this stage 🥺

[@DalCecilRuno]

If they include an integrated text-to-speech function, like MS Word’s amazing Read Aloud, then Canva Docs is going to be my default. Also, if they include fiction book templates where we can add beautiful illustrations to our chapter opening pages, wow! That would be a winner. I know, fiction novels are very long documents, so I don’t have high hopes. I also know accessibility isn’t the first thought for a “visual platform” so again, no high hopes, but maybe. Canva is my favorite platform so there is room to dream.

[@TeamRonDi]

Let’s hope they add text to speech! And I remember when I was working at Canva, accessibility was a big deal. So let’s see what will come with Docs 😊

[@MarinaArtDesign]

Just for chuckles, in the intro CC it says "Since Canada announced they were adding Canva ducks to their Visual"... I want to put that on a T-shirt.

[@annavannoni]

😅😅😅

[@TeamRonDi]

Hahahaha Canva ducks 🦆

[@WEBVDO]

Will Canva LIVE compete with EVMUX/Ecamm LIVE/etc. for LIVE Video Streaming?

[@TeamRonDi]

I don’t think so. Canva Live is still quite basic for now.

[@jadecousineau8862]

Canva Doc arrived today for me (school license). I would like to convert things already created in canva to DOC. How can I do ?

[@TeamRonDi]

I'm afraid you can't do that. OR maybe with Magic Resize? Have you tried "Resize" > "Docs" ?

[@PsalmistScribe]

This might sound ignorant of me, but I'm not sure if they're going to be competition for Google docs, don't get me wrong I love canva but I imagine Google would likely try to partner with them. canva is becoming a one-stop shop for a lot of things. I hope in the future there is a way to separate the type of projects.

[@TeamRonDi]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us 💛✨

[@jeremybrown8982]

There's tons of bugs in Canva Docs, especially on mobile. I have contacted them about this, and they have acknowledged. I'm not sure if it's even worth speaking about this feature until it's fixed. I told them I'm testing this out on pc now and will find out if or what is buggy on there.

[@TeamRonDi]

Bare in mind this is the very beginning of this product, so be patient. I think they have a viable MVP and it was time for them to put it out there. After all, that's the only way they will get feedback which will allow them to improve the product. It's a necessary evil.

[@jeremybrown8982]

@@TeamRonDi Agree with everything you said...

[@lisafoster9190]

Thank you. I made a canvas doc and found the page breaks were in unusual places. How do we control what we put on each page and insert page breaks? Please and thank you 😊

[@TeamRonDi]

Canva Docs offer no control over that for now, unfortunately 🥲

[@lisafoster9190]

@@TeamRonDi thanks. The only work around was to keep downloading it and making changes to the spacing and adding in an image at the bottom of the page with white space like a mandala or something. I like docs but it seems difficult 😃

[@TeamRonDi]

I agree, this issue needs to be fixed and Canva has to acknowledge people are going to still want to print their documents.

[@joy_r]

I'm experiencing the same problem as well. It's so hard to see the page break. It's time consuming constantly adding space and blanks.

[@lucianoliam]

Hello. This is completely unrelated but is it possible to input html code in a website created on canva?

[@TeamRonDi]

Hey Liam, I don’t think it’s possible to add code at this stage 🥹

wud like to know...in the element creator's dashboard, under this month's 'my performance', it shows 238 "APPLIES" and 105 "EXPORTS" what r these applies and exports? Is it that the no: of times the other people used my element?..... ...another thing is that it shows I have "so and so" royalty amnt.....but the individual sales is zero....what shud v do to make individual sales? ...yet another thing is that.... Once it is 10 dollar or above, after 15 th of each month, canva transfers the amt to the bank....my question is if I don't have a bank a/c, will that amt or the growing amount b still there until I open a bank a/c no matter how many months or even years pass by? Or is it that... if canva is not able to transfer the amt b'coz of the lack of the payout method selection.....wud they cancel the amt....and if so how long will they wait till they decide to cancel the amt?

[@StevePeel]

How would I create pages with margins and page sizes if I want to write a book in Docs? Is it even possible yet? Without the options to spellcheck, format a page with alternate outside and gutter margins, indenting, and I could go on. Instead, it appears to be nothing more than a PDF designer or alternative to PowerPoint. Let's see what happens. Also, when using Magic Write, if I was to type in, let's say, knitting. Magic Write might give me a paragraph of engaging text, but if someone else somewhere else types in knitting, will they get the same section of text or pretty much. The reason I ask is due to the chance of plagiarism.

[@TeamRonDi]

Hi Stephen, thanks for sharing your thoughts and doubts about Canva Docs and Magic Write. I believe Canva's vision for Docs is not so much to come up with a solution for creating books and documents to be printed, but rather to have a great way to design visual documents that will live online. But I might be wrong, or they might do both 🤔 Let's give it a few months and see what document types they come up with under Docs. This is only the beginning. And about Magic Write: I believe you'll be given different results every time to enter a query. I already tried that and got different results. Also, I wouldn't just type "Knitting" as my query. I would write something more detailed and precise like: Write me a blog post about knitting for beginners" or something like that. Let's keep an 👀 on Docs and see where they are going 😉

@TeamRonDi Hi Ronny, is there any way to deactivate automatic saving in Canva? I'm a beginner and just wanted to create a Facebook title picture. Worked fine so I saved it. Forgot to rename the graphic and pulled out a recent graphic I had made. The second I pulled out the old graphic I realized my mistake, but it was too late. Now I had two "old graphics" and the new one I had just created and saved was gone ... 😞 I would like to be able to open documents without Canva saving automatically. How can I deactivate automatic saving?

[@TeamRonDi]

I don’t think you can deactivate auto save. Pro users will have access to a feature called “Version history” that allows you to go back to previous versions (save points) of your designs.
