3. Connect your Canva accountIn the top right of the Media Storage window, click Connect Canva.Follow the prompts to authorize the connection between Canva and your account.You only need to do this once — your Canva account will stay connected for future imports.
4. Browse your Canva projectsOnce connected, open the source dropdown on the left (it defaults to My Media).Select Canva from the list.All of your Canva projects will appear in the Media Storage window.
5. Import a project to your media libraryFind the Canva project you want to use.Click the three-dot menu on the project thumbnail.Select Import to media library.The project will be copied into your media library so you can use it in the editor.
6. Insert the design into your certificate or badgeAfter importing, select the project from your media library.Click Insert media.Your Canva design will be added to the certificate or badge canvas, where you can resize, reposition, or add other elements on top of it.TipsUpdates in Canva don’t sync automatically. If you edit the original design in Canva later, re-import it to pull in the changes.File format matters. Designs imported from Canva come in as images, so any text in them won’t be editable inside the Credentials editor — make any text edits in Canva before importing.
