NoteS Concerning Canva Teams

Clever users, notice that you are joined to a school team based on your location assignment.
Non-Clever (most of Central Office) users will be added to the Staff & Admin or ISSC team.
If your location assignment changes, your pre-existing content is accessible by switching between teams; you can copy designs to your new school team by following these steps. This is also the case if you have switched to a different school or office.
Please read the Canva teacher’s guide, even if you’ve used Canva before – there are a few differences between our organization-wide version of Canva and versions you may have used in the past.
