Feedback or notes on a design.

What is a comment in Canva?

A comment in Canva is a feature that allows users to communicate and collaborate on a design project. It is a tool that enables users to leave feedback, suggestions, or notes directly on the design. This is particularly useful when working in a team or when getting approval from a client or supervisor.

To use this feature, one simply needs to click on the comment icon, usually found on the top right corner of the Canva interface, and then click on the specific part of the design where the comment is relevant. Once the comment is made, other collaborators on the project can view, reply to, or resolve the comment. This makes the design process more interactive and efficient.

How to add a comment in Canva?

Adding a comment in Canva is a straightforward process. First, open the design you want to comment on. On the top right corner of the screen, you'll see a 'Comment' button. Click on it to open the comment sidebar.

Once the sidebar is open, you can click anywhere on the design to add a comment. A text box will appear where you can type your comment. After typing your comment, press enter to post it. You can also reply to existing comments by clicking on the 'Reply' button under the comment. This feature is particularly useful when collaborating on a design with a team.

How to edit or delete a comment in Canva?

To edit or delete a comment in Canva, you first need to open the design that contains the comment you want to modify. Once you have the design open, locate the comment section which is typically found on the right side of the screen. Here, you will see all the comments that have been made on the design.

To edit a comment, simply click on the comment you want to change. This will open up the comment in an editable format. Make the necessary changes and then click on the 'Save' button to save your changes. To delete a comment, click on the comment you want to remove. You will see a trash bin icon or a 'Delete' button appear. Click on this button to delete the comment. Please note that only the author of the comment or the owner of the design can edit or delete comments.

How to reply to a comment in Canva?

To reply to a comment in Canva, you first need to open the design that has the comment. On the top right corner of the screen, you will see a 'Comments' button. Click on it to open the comments panel. Here, you will see all the comments that have been made on the design.

To reply to a specific comment, find the comment you want to respond to and click on the 'Reply' button underneath it. A text box will appear where you can type your response.
