Wouh 🎉 thank you so much Jacquie for this wonderful recap, you are the best !

[oliviaholmes]

That blended tool is so cool! Think it’s my fav new addition.

[oliviaholmes]

Awesome update! Thanks for simplifying it 🎉🎉🎉

[rahuldravid]

WHAT A VIDEO. so so so good. Thank you so much for sharing

[thewebstylist]

So much awesomeness, Magic Grab and Blend at top of my favs and I clicked For You 7x and am 478, 672

[pretty_things_styling]

Thanks for the time-saving update! Lots of new helpful updates from Canva (some of which should have been done a long time ago, but they're here now, so I won't complain!). Don't know what I'd do without Canva!

[jenniferdettloff-carter]

OMG! This stuff is SO COOL😄! Thanks so much for letting us know about it!

[jessicagreen]

Thanks Jacqui, exactly the info I needed to start playing with the updates. I’m excited for a lot of the features but the Facebook meta check will be really useful, in real estate we have to make sure to follow the fair housing guidelines and this will make it easier. The magic grab photo feature will be nice too, I thought the magic features were awesome but a little too broad so this will make it so much easier!

[mainz-machen]

Thank you so much for your tip at the end of this fantastic tutorial 🥰 Now I have glowed up and its so much better! 🤩

[lynettesmithphotography]

Super helpful! Thank you :) Question - can you easily drag/drop things you've designed into the Project folder like you used to be able to? I've been looking and trying to figure that out vs. going through one at a time with the 3-dots and moving to a folder. Trying to organize my Canva :)

[annavannoni]

I haven't tried the bulk create yet & congratulations on the newest member of your family, he's adorable!

[thejoyofreceivinglove]

Thank you Jacqui! I went and clicked to do the Glow Up and I was number 468, 301 that means a lot of people have signed up since you did at 4, 000, LOL!!!

[chrisder]

hello could you help me understand what the combination of the API with automation software could allow me to do

[dawnrainbowstar]

Hi Jacqui! Thank you for summarizing the Canva glow ups specific to designers. Question for you: For Bulk Create with Images, I'm having trouble figuring out how to add images to the spreadsheet so I can upload the data (upload the csv to canva). I was able to do it manually though. Can you speak to this?

[kristenmagyar]

Hey Jacqui I did the Glow up and CANNOT find the Bulk Create anywhere. I used it all the time. Any ideas where it went?

[TopDogBranding]

Where did crop go in the new Canva?? So far, that's the only thing I cannot find. Thank you!

[angiegardner]

Great insight into all the new features, thank you. Little question, how do you do the image of yourself speaking in the circle? Is it done within Canva? x

[OhMyHeartGifts]

PLEASE help!!!! where did the eyedropper color grabber go. The AI chat bot says it's still in the color palette under the + add a color but I'm going crazy because I don't see it anywhere :( I LOVED this tool. I want it back. Any ideas?

[_Savemysul_]

Do you have to have Canva pro to access the update? Assuming a million people haven’t already done it… Which im sure they have but I thought I’d ask anyways.

[marketeandotehoy]

still can't find the "Bulk create'app anywhere... using the glow up new version too...
