Transferring design ownership

If you're a Canva Teams, Canva Business, or Canva Enterprise admin, you can transfer someone's content before removing them from your team. This keeps your team's designs and assets accessible.

For Canva Education, this is only available if your school is part of a district team. Only district team admins can do this, and only when removing a member. If a member leaves on their own, their content can't be transferred.

• Included: All folders, designs, templates, videos, audio, media uploads, and shared content owned by the removed member
• Not Included: Comments, activity history, or content the member accessed but didn't own
