Invite user to join your team

You can invite people to join your team from the People page. Before sending an invite, make sure the person has a Canva account using the same email address.

Note: Each new team member uses one paid seat on your subscription.

On the homepage, go to your account profile, then select

Review invitation options

We email each person a link to join your team. The link works for 30 days. It can only be used one time. If the link doesn't work, send a new invitation.

If you see Get invite link, select it to copy a link you can share with others. To stop the link from working, select Deactivate invite link in the same menu.

People join as team members by default. You can change their roles after they accept the invitation.

Invite teachers and students to your class

Teachers using Canva Education can invite other teachers and students to their school team. After we check and approve that you're a teacher, we add you to a school team where you can create classes and work together.

For step-by-step instructions, see Inviting teachers and students to your class.
