Working Quickly with Canva Shortcuts

As a busy travel agent, saving time is crucial. That’s why knowing a few handy Canva shortcuts can make your workflow faster and more efficient. In this guide, we’ll introduce you to the most useful Canva shortcuts that will help you edit your Leslie Kay Creates templates with ease, so you can spend less time on design and more time creating unforgettable experiences for your clients.

Copy and Paste (Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V)

Copy (Ctrl + C): Quickly copy any element—text, image, or page—by selecting it and pressing Ctrl + C (or Command + C on a Mac).

Paste (Ctrl + V): Paste the copied element by pressing Ctrl + V (or Command + V on a Mac). This is especially useful when you need to duplicate elements or pages within your template.

Pro Tip: Use this shortcut when adding similar sections across different pages, like repeating headers or footers, to ensure consistency throughout your document.

Undo and Redo (Ctrl + Z, Ctrl + Shift + Z)

Undo (Ctrl + Z): Made a mistake? No problem. Quickly undo your last action by pressing Ctrl + Z (or Command + Z on a Mac)

Redo (Ctrl + Shift + Z): Want to bring back something you just undid? Press Ctrl + Shift + Z (or Command + Shift + Z on a Mac) to redo the last action.

Pro Tip: These shortcuts are lifesavers when you’re experimenting with different design elements and want to quickly compare changes.

Group and Ungroup Elements (Ctrl + G, Ctrl + Shift + G)

Group (Ctrl + G): Select multiple elements (like text boxes and images) and press Ctrl + G (or Command + G on a Mac) to group them together. This allows you to move or resize them as a single unit.

Ungroup (Ctrl + Shift + G): To separate grouped elements, press Ctrl + Shift + G (or Command + Shift + G on a Mac). 

Pro Tip: Grouping elements is perfect for keeping your designs organized, especially when working on complex layouts.

Duplicate Pages (Ctrl + D)

Pro Tip: Use this shortcut when creating variations of a page, such as different versions of a proposal or itinerary for comparison.

Zoom In and Out (Ctrl + +, Ctrl + -)

Zoom In (Ctrl + +): Focus on the details by zooming in on your design with Ctrl + + (or Command + + on a Mac).

Zoom Out (Ctrl + -): Get a broader view by zooming out with Ctrl + - (or Command + - on a Mac).

Pro Tip: Zooming out is particularly useful when you want to see the overall layout of your document or when you're working on arranging multiple pages.
