Canva Teams is a powerful way to collaborate with colleagues, clients, or classmates on design projects. Whether you're running a small business or managing a creative department, setting up a Canva Team gives everyone shared access to templates, brand assets, and real-time collaboration tools. Here's exactly how to get started.
What is Canva Teams?
Canva Teams (formerly Canva for Enterprise and Canva Pro Teams) is a subscription plan designed for groups of two or more people. It unlocks shared brand kits, team folders, approval workflows, and premium templates — all within one collaborative workspace.
"Canva Teams transformed the way our marketing department works. We went from scattered assets to a single source of truth."
Step-by-Step: Creating Your Canva Team
Sign in to Canva
Head to canva.com and log into your existing account. If you don't have one, create a free account first.
Navigate to Team Settings
Click the gear icon (Settings) in the top-right corner, then select "Create a team" from the sidebar menu.
Name Your Team
Choose a recognizable name — your company name, department, or project title works well. You can always change this later.
Invite Members
Enter the email addresses of people you'd like to invite. You can assign roles: Admin, Template Designer, or Member.
Choose Your Plan
Select Canva Teams billing (monthly or annual). Pricing is per person, and annual plans offer significant savings.
Set Up Your Brand Kit
Upload your logo, brand colors, and fonts. Every team member will have instant access to stay on-brand in every design.
Key Benefits of Canva Teams

Pro Tips for Team Success
Once your team is set up, make the most of it:
- Create template locks so members can only edit designated areas
- Use team folders with clear naming conventions (e.g."Social Media Q3")
- Set up your brand voice in Magic Write for consistent copy
- Schedule a monthly brand audit to keep assets current
