Create and manage your classes

Open Classes to view the classes connected to your Canva account or create a new one.

Check your school setup first: Your classes may already appear if your school has synced class data with Canva.

If you need to create a class, select Create a class and give it a clear name. You might organize classes by year level, subject, teaching period, or another structure that works for your school.

Select an existing class to view its members, manage invitations, and update class settings.

Quick tip:

Team or class? Your team represents your school or school system. A class is the specific group of students you teach.

Invite students to a class

Open the class you want students to join, then choose an invitation method that suits your school setup.

Depending on the options available, you can:

Invite students using their email addresses
Share an invitation link
Share a class code
Add students through a connected school platform

Ask students to use their school account so they join the correct school team and class, where required by your school.
