Filter and sort your designs on the homepage

It’s now easier to find your work from your homepage. The new dedicated Recents page gives you a full view of your recently opened designs and Brand Templates, with filters and sorting to help you quickly find the content you need. Whether it’s something you created or a favorite Brand Template, it’s easier to find from one place.

Filter your Recent content

Users now get a dedicated Recents page where they can browse their recent designs and Brand Templates. Folders aren’t shown in Recents and can still be found in Projects.

There are two ways to filter your content: from the homepage or the Recent page. 

From the homepage (Recent) 

  1. Go to your Canva homepage.
  2. In the Recent section, choose from the available filters:
    1. Under Category, choose what design type you want to show:
      1. Presentation 
      2. Landscape Video 
      3. Mobile Video 
      4. Doc 
      5. Instagram Reel 
      6. More design types
    2. Under Date modified, choose when the design was last modified:
      1. Any time 
      2. Today
      3. Yesterday
      4. Last 30 days
      5. Last 90 days
      6. Last year
    3. Under Starred, show only designs you’ve starred:
      1. Designs
      2. Brand template
      3. Folder

Recent page 

  1. From the homepage, select More, go to Projects, and select Recents or select See all.
  2. Under Category, choose what design type you want to show:
    • Presentation 
    • Landscape Video 
    • Mobile Video 
    • Doc 
    • Instagram Reel 
    • More design types
  3. Under Date modified, choose when the design was last modified:
    • Any time 
    • Today
    • Yesterday
    • Last 30 days
    • Last 90 days
    • Last year
  4. Under Creator, you can browse different collaborators and filter by their content:
    • Any owner (default) - see all content you have access to
    • You - see only content you own
    • Shared with you - see only content others have shared with you

Sort your Projects

  1. Go to your Canva homepage, select
    More, and select
    Projects.
  2. In the
    Recent section, select the
    Sort By icon.
  3. Choose how you want to sort your content:
    • Last activity (default) - shows items based on when you last worked on them
    • A-Z - sorts alphabetically from A to Z
    • Z-A - sorts alphabetically from Z to A

Fix filter and sorting issues

My filters reset when I come back to Canva

That’s normal. Filters don’t stick around after you leave. This helps you see all your recent designs when you return.

Things feel a bit slow after applying filters

Using filters means Canva is loading more specific data, which might take a little longer.

Some of my designs aren’t showing in A–Z sort

Alphabetical sorting only applies to your 200 most recently opened designs. If you haven’t opened something in a while, it might not appear here.

I can’t use filters when I’m offline

Filtering and sorting only work when you’re connected to the internet. You’ll see them again when you’re back online.
