HOW TO ADD NEW TEMPLATES TO YOUR
OWN CANVA ACCOUNT?
QUESTIONS THAT I RECEIVE EACH DAY!
THIS IS BY FAR ONE OF THE MOST COMMON
IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME…
Congratulations! You’re going to LOVE using ready-made templates!
If you’ve ever used Canva templates in the past and were required to ‘Make A Copy’ before using
them, please know that’s not how I roll! All of my template packs are genuine templates and not a
shared document that others can mess up!
Before we get started though, here’s an important reminder:
QUICK TIP: DON'T USE YOUR PHONE!
I highly recommend following these steps on your laptop or desktop, instead of on your cell phone!
The Canva phone apps for both iOS and Android are good for making quick edits but I always suggest
doing your initial set up and most of your primary designing at your desk!
So let’s get you started!
STEP 01 → CANVA ACCOUNT
You’ll need to have an account on Canva.com to use Canva templates.
If you already have a Canva account, skip to step 2.
If you don’t have a Canva.com account, you need to set up a FREE account to get started! This step
takes only 10 seconds and you’ll be designing in no time!
STEP 02 → LOG IN
You MUST make sure that you're already logged into your Canva.com account first!
Whether you just created your first Canva account or you’ve had one for years, please go double-
check that you’re actually already logged in before proceeding to step 3.
STEP 03 → ACCESS THE CANVA DESIGN TEMPLATES
Connect to the templates you want to add!
Start by locating the template link you were provided to access the Canva design templates.*
When you click on that link, you are immediately brought to a new browser tab or window that reads:
“A template created by Casey Evans was shared with you, start designing now!”
Below that you’ll see a preview of the templates and finally a blue button that reads: “Use Template”.
All you’ve gotta do is click that button to add your new templates!
*NOTE: For all of my free and paid Canva templates, the link(s) to access them are located under a
section clearly named ‘ACCESS THE CANVA DESIGN TEMPLATES’ and it’s usually on the last page of
the PDF guide you received from me.
STEP 04 → INSTANT ACCESS
Get ready to start designing!
Once you click on that “Use Template” button, your copy of the template pack is immediately opened
so you can view and edit them inside Canva!
STEP 05 → FUTURE ACCESS
No, you don’t have to do Steps 01 - 04 every time!
From this point forward, when you go back to your Canva ‘Home’ page or the ‘All your designs’ page,
you will now see the template pack located there for all future use!.
PRO TIP: MAKE 2 COPIES!
I HIGHLY recommend that the first time you save each set of templates you name it "ORIGINAL" or
something to that effect. Keep that one untouched and always create a new duplicate copy to
start customizing! This will ensure that you always have a fresh, original template to start with for
each new round of designs you create!
