Navigate and collaborate in Canva whiteboards
Moving around the whiteboard canvas, follow a user on the whiteboard.
Start or stop following a user
- From the toolbar, select the collaborator's avatar that you want to follow. If you don’t see them, expand the list of all active collaborators.
- You’ll see a message letting you know that you’re following them. You'll also see a border around the design that matches their avatar color.
- To stop following a user, select Stop, or select the user from the toolbar.
- Editors and viewers can all follow collaborators.
- Following works across pages. If the collaborator you're following moves to another page, your view follows automatically.
- If the collaborator you're following disconnects, you'll see Follow again and Dismiss. If they don't reconnect within two minutes, your follow session ends automatically.
Stop other users from following you
When one or more users start following you, you’ll get notified in the whiteboard. If you need to, you can stop other users from following.
