HI Lori, this would be great if you could make a video on it, showing all the steps!
Yes, I have a step-by-step video in the article. Maybe it was delayed in loading.
Hi Lori, Is there way to schedule all post at the same time in Canva , whereas you don’t have to schedule them individually. Please advise. Thanks
Not that I have seen. If you’re looking to schedule a large number of posts across different platforms or need more advanced scheduling options (like bulk scheduling at the same time), you might consider using a dedicated social media management tool that integrates with Canva, such as Buffer, Hootsuite, or Later.
