USING CANVA SIDEBAR

                 The Canva Sidebar is present on the left side of the browser window.
                 The features of the Canva Sidebar are:

                 •  Search:  The  search  text  box  allows  you  to  look  for  photos,
                    illustrations, or other items.
                 •  Text:  The  text  tab  gives you  options  to  add pre-formatted text
                    heads, sub-headings, and body text.

                 •  Elements: This section is used to find photos, grids, frames, shapes,
                    lines, illustrations, icons, charts, etc.


                      Elements

                 The elements in  Canva  refer to  shapes,  photos,  frames, lines,  grids,
                 illustrations, icons, charts, etc. that can be added to the design.
                 To select an element:

                 Step 1:    Click on the Elements tab.
                 Step 2:    Select a category you want to search for the required element.

                 Step 3:    Click and select the element to add it into the design area.

                      Formatting Text

                 Canva templates come with pre-defined text formats. But these formats are not rigid. The user can
                 format the text according to his/her requirement. When you select the text you want to edit, a top
                 bar appears with different formatting options to change size, font, color, effect, etc.


                        UPLOADING ELEMENTS


                 Canva allows you to upload and use your own elements, like images and logos.
                 To use your own elements:

                 Step 1:    Click on Uploads tab in the Sidebar.
