[@karenb9517]

Hi, Tatyana, your tutorials are very helpful! I’m brand new to this…what happens if something goes wrong with the customer’s download? Does that mean that the whole design needs to remade? What are the common problems in digital downloads and how do we avoid them or fix them? Could you do a video on this? Thanks

[@TatyanaSavage]

@@karenb9517 hi Karen! Thanks for your question. Things dont often go wrong with downloads, but when they do I just email my customers their templates directly. I always share a template made from a copy of my original design to prevent losing my hard work in the case that my design is somehow permanently altered by the customer. I’d be happy to make a video going into detail about how to avoid common problems ❤️❤️

Hello! Thank you so much for showing me this video. You're a lifesaver. I have a question though I have created a template using Canva and made my first listing on Etsy but, I am having trouble with using Templett. Would I have to recreate my template on Canva to Templett in order for the customer to use the demo version before purchasing?

[@PrettyAnb]

Thank you for sharing! This was exactly what I was looking for. 😊

[@MelissaMateosPhotography]

Hi Tatyana>> thanks for all the helpful information ... I was wondering if there is a way to control what elements of the templates we sell and share is editable.. I mean, if we can control that the only edit the name or some elements but not the whole thing... thanks in advance

Are you able to select certain things the customer can change instead of the entire design? I.e. someone’s name and or the date?

[@GlowithAliyah]

Thank you!!! You’re so helpful new sub ❤

[@sheriwn3818]

Hi, this video was really helpful, Thank u! Once the buyer receives this template, can they edit the design as well or just add text? Also, can I upload a design from Kittl/ Playground AI and place it in Canvas to create a link?

[@Arkcov3]

Thank you for these videos!! Can't find an answer for this on google - if you use canva pro to make a template, does the customer need canva pro to use it? Keep up the great work!

[@TatyanaSavage]

@@Arkcov3 you’re welcome! ❤️ If you use Canva pro to make a template, technically the customer doesn’t need Canva pro to access the template BUT they will need Canva pro to actually save their final design to their device. To bypass this issue, I state this clearly in my download instructions and I also include a link to a free Canva Pro subscription with all of my digital products. I hope that answers your question!

[@renesmeeBG]

How do you prevent people from stealing your designs and reselling them?

[@Funnycomedyanimation]

Thanks for the videos, how am i going to fulfil the order after payment. Am i going to upload the (thanks you card that contained the download link ) with the listing photos, or in the check -out after payments, to make it automated.

[@Midliferedo]

That happened to me too!! :/

[@AllisonStrider]

I did exactly as you described and I still get the collaboration link. I have had this issue from the beginning and even Canva can't tell me why. Any new insight on what could possibly be my issue? Could it have something to do with the way my account is set up? I am very versed in Canva and I just cannot figure it out. It has caused me so much stress and my templates have been changed by customers and I often have to reset them over and over. This has prevented me from making more templates. I am really at my wits end.

[@RoeNC919]

Hi, loving your videos! Question for you. I notice that in this video you don’t “lock” any of the design elements in your shared template, doing so would make them static and uneditable. You could easily just leave the text as editable elements. My concern is that if I leave the entire template as it is, it makes it too easy for another seller to use my design for their store. What are your thoughts on protecting your work via element locking?

[@TatyanaSavage]

@@RoeNC919 hi! Thank you! ❤️That’s a great point! I advertise my templates as “100% customizable” which is why I don’t lock any of my elements. Selling digital products always comes with the risk of other sellers buying and reselling your designs as their own, unfortunately. So far I haven’t had an issue with this because I stand out as a seller by providing great customer service, using good SEO practices, and having eye catching listing covers that make my shop stand out from competitors in my niche. It’s really up to you whether or not you want to lock parts of your design, I just personally choose not to.

[@Healthafter50compass]

You are great teacher.

[@TatyanaSavage]

Thank you! 🥲💞

[@pearlesquecreations]

Thanks for clarifying between the collaboration link and template link. I had the same issue with customers getting the version the previous customer received and edited. But now that I’m just using the template link my customers have to request access to the template. How do I avoid this?

[@beritandres5061]

Thank you for your videos! 😊 If I have used Canva Pro Items in my template and provide the template to my customers using the template link. Can they download the fully edited version without having to pay for the Pro Items again? Or should I only use free items in my template?

[@TatyanaSavage]

You’re welcome! I use Pro features in my templates and I indicate this in my product description for full transparency. I also include download instructions with my files, and I include a link to a free Canva Pro subscription.

[@rashydahxoxo]

this is so helpful i love it !! i’m able to add my link to my template but now when i try to put it into etsy it keep saying the file name can’t have any numbers or signs in it and won’t let me add it to file even tho there’s nothing like that in the name! do you know what i should do?

[@TatyanaSavage]

@@rashydahxoxo I would first copy and paste the template link onto a word document, then save that document as a PDF titled “access template here” (without the quotation marks), then upload that PDF to Etsy. This is the easiest way to accomplish uploading a template link in my experience. Hope that helps!! ❤️

[@rashydahxoxo]

@@TatyanaSavagethank you so much!! i think my phone just didn’t know how to process it right bc i was able to do it with my laptop no problem! i really love your content 💖

[@dilavera]

Will the print quality drop significantly when customers buy and print this? They can't download it at 300 DPI, right? Or am I missing something?

[@TatyanaSavage]

@@dilavera the products that I sell are all meant to be sent and received digitally, so I’m not 100% sure about how that would translate over in this print example. I would think that as the seller, you should set the DPI and dimensions to be print-friendly if you’re selling prints of any kind.

Hello I was wondering if you could make a video on how you added the background to your baby shower template. Thanks

Hey! omg sorry, I'm just seeing this comment! Do you mean the pink floral background?

[@zehragider]

Hi, Even if I designed the template in Canva Pro, can the client edit it for free?

[@SherylRosano]

Does it matter if you're using premium Canva fonts and graphics, and the customer does not? Will they get watermarks on their design if they don't have Premium?

[@samuelcisneros3263]

Hey! question , should I mention in my description on my Etsy Listing that the template I made I used Canva Pro to prevent any complaints ?

[@TatyanaSavage]

Good question! Yes! Definitely mention it in the description. I also include a link to a free trial of Canva Pro in all of my downloads!

[@YaseenAhmad-m7k]

What if I add pro elements to my template? How will I ensure that my clients don’t need to subscribe in order to edit my design and remove watermarks? Thank you already :)

[@B.LeanetteASMR]

I need help. the template link is only taking me to the original copy, not an actual template for people to use. how do i fix this. yes i copied the template link and not the colab link.

[@TatyanaSavage]

@@B.LeanetteASMR how do u know the template link is taking you to the original copy? Like what message are u seeing? Also, try making a copy of your design first that way u have two identical versions, and then make a template link for the second copy. Then edit the template design of the second copy using the template link and go back to see if those changes were applied to your own second copy of your project.

[@B.LeanetteASMR]

@@TatyanaSavage i downloaded it to my files. Then i click the file to see what the person buying will see. Then i click the link to see if it worked and it took me to my original version of what im selling. At the bottom its supposed to say “use template” in blue but it says “edit template”

[@WenWen-tg4uk]

You are wrong, I am sorry but I followed your advice and my customer could not open the link! The right one is as long as it's a template link , your customer should be able to edit without affecting the original file. And the collaboration should set to anyone with the link.

[@TatyanaSavage]

Hey! There must’ve been a mix up, because this video is showing how to create and share a template link which is definitely the correct way to share a Canva template with customers. 😅

[@kaneceskreations]

I am still seeing the "edit template" & "us template for a new design"

[@TatyanaSavage]

@@kaneceskreations when you click “edit template” does it make alterations to your original template or just to the next template? Also, make sure you’re clicking “template,” and not “brand template” when you choose to share.

[@kaneceskreations]

@@TatyanaSavage yes it does, I made a copy & named it as template. When I go to the design that will be my pdf, it says the correct design name too

[@TatyanaSavage]

@@kaneceskreations but then when you click the template link and you make edits, those edits are reflected on your original template? Like if you change the color to orange and then go to your template on Canva, the template is now orange?

[@kaneceskreations]

@@TatyanaSavage yes, I opened the pdf on my ipad, changed something & the template changed on my computer
