An At-a-Glance Overview:
As a quick overview, here are some key points in the video (we recommend watching it for a full explanation and additional tricks and tips)...
How to Add, Delete and Easily Move Pages on Canva:
When you open your Canva Journal Template, go to grid view (at the bottom right of your Canva screen) and you can see all the images in your document. From grid view, you can move pages, delete them and insert new ones too.
How to See All the Editable Elements of Each Page
To see, the various elements on a page that can be edited, click on any single element and then choose, "Position" and then make sure "Layers" is selected on the left side. Then you can see all the images, text elements, backgrounds and more.
How to Change Font Styles and Color Palettes on All Pages in a Document
Under Design -> Styles you can select font styles and/or color palettes you'd like to apply to your design. When you click on a style, it will apply it to the select page. Then at the bottom of the screen, it will ask you if you want to apply it to all pages.
When you do choose to change an entire document by applying a new style, you should always review all your pages to ensure that the colors look right and all your elements line up correctly. Since different fonts vary in size, there will likely be adjustments needed.
