Advantages: This is what the connection brings you
By linking the two apps, you will receive helpful notifications when someone is working on a design or leaving comments. These are other advantages:
- Design notifications: You'll receive a message when a design or folder is shared with you or a team you're a part of, a design is shared, or someone requests access to your design. Additionally, you'll receive a notification when a Canva user requests a design share, or your design share is approved or rejected.
- Comments and feedback: When you are mentioned in a comment, someone replies to your comment, or leaves a new comment on your design. This allows the team to give each other feedback.
