Copy content to your school or district account

If you have designs in another Canva account, you can copy them to your school or district account. This helps keep all your work in one place.

• Make sure you can access the email inbox for the account you're copying from (we'll send a verification code).
• Content copy is enabled by your school or district (if you don't see the option, contact your administrator).

What you can copy depends on your district's settings.

• Some districts allow you to copy from any account, including personal emails like @gmail.com or @yahoo.com.
• Others only allow copying from school email addresses.

If you're not sure which applies, check with your administrator.

1. Log in to your school or district account.
2. If your district uses SSO, you'll be redirected to your school's login portal.
3. If not, log in with your district email.
4. Select your
   profile picture, then select
   Your account.
5. In Your profile, select Copy your content.
6. Enter the email address of the account you want to copy from.
7. Check your inbox for a verification code, then enter it.
8. Select the team or teams you want to copy from.
9. Choose the team you want your content copied to.
10. Select Copy content.

You'll get a notification when the copy is done. Your designs and folders will then be available in your SSO-linked account.

Your original designs stay in the account you copied from.

• Designs (all types)
• Folders and their contents
• Projects

• Brand Kits
• Uploaded fonts
• Audio files
• Published websites
• Sharing settings (including comment history)

You’ll need to re-share content with collaborators after copying.

If you’re not sure what’s causing the issue, start with the closest match below.

I didn't receive the verification code

• Check your spam or junk folder for an email from no-reply@canva.com.
• Wait a few minutes, then try again.
• Make sure the email address is correct.
• If your school manages your email, ask your administrator to allow emails from no-reply@canva.com.

Your school or district needs to turn this feature on.

Make sure you're logged in to your school or district account, not a personal account. Contact your IT administrator if you still don't see it.

The account may not be eligible based on your district's settings.

If the account belongs to another district, their settings may prevent copying.

If your school recently enforced SSO and you can't log in to your previous account, you can still copy content from it.

You only need access to the email inbox to receive the verification code.

If you've completed the copy process but can't find your designs:

• Look for a folder named From {account name}. It will match the account you copied the content from.
• Check the Projects tab
• Use the search to look for specific design names
• See Missing designs for more help

Yes. Canva sends a verification email with a one-time code to confirm you own the account you're copying from. For security, this code is valid for 10 minutes. If the code doesn't work, you can close this window and try again by selecting Copy content.

If you don't receive it, check your spam or junk folder. If your school manages your email, ask your administrator to allow emails from no-reply@canva.com.

This depends on your district's settings.

Some districts allow copying from any email address, including personal accounts. Others restrict it to school email addresses only.

No. Copying creates a duplicate. Your original designs remain in the source account.
