how to share a canva design without them editing the original
braza shows you the template-link trick so your original stays safe.
sharing a canva design and worrying someone will edit your original is a real concern for teachers, freelancers, and clients. the trick is choosing the right kind of link. here's how to let people view or copy your design without touching the master.
or do it yourself
- 1click 'share' in the top-right.
- 2under the collaboration link, set access to 'view only' so no one can change your master.
- 3want them to reuse it? choose 'template link' instead - each recipient gets their own editable copy and your original stays untouched.
- 4copy the link and send it.

how do i let someone use my design but not wreck the original?
send a 'template link' - it forces canva to give them a separate copy instead of opening your master file.
what's the difference between a view link and a template link?
a view link is read-only; a template link gives each person their own editable duplicate.
