Editing a Canva Template

How to edit the Canva client guide and recipe templates.

Available Guides

Nearly all our done-for-you programs come with resources such as client success guides or recipes. If you want to edit/brand these guides, you must purchase one of the branding options available.

To view what resources and branding options are available for each program, go to Program in the sidebar, click on the Marketplace tab and then click on the "information" icon next to the program name to view its description. You can also see a complete list here.

To edit/brand the guides yourself, click the DIY Branding option in the program description. Next, complete the form below to agree to the terms of use and then complete your purchase. The cost of these guides varies from program to program, with the majority costing $29.

Note: Although you can edit the guides using the free version of Canva, you will need a Canva Pro account to download the guides.
