Inviting team members

Creating a team is a great way to collaborate with peers on any project. If you’d like to put together your own private workspace, you have the option to make a standard (free) Canva team or a Canva for Work (paid) team.

Don’t worry, you can invite anyone to join regardless of whether or not they have a Canva account. It’s important to note, however, that inviting someone with no existing Canva account automatically ties them to the team.

Inviting members to a free team

Upon setting up your standard (free) Canva team, you’ll want to invite your team members to join so they can see updates to projects. Standard Canva users can invite up to 10 people to join their team.

To invite new members to a free team:

1. Log in to Canva.
2. If applicable, switch to the team you would like to invite members to by clicking the arrow next to your profile photo. This will open a dropdown. From there, select the team name.
3. Click on the Team members tab.
4. Enter the email addresses of your new team members.
5. Choose your team member permissions by clicking the dropdown menu next to each email. Free teams have the option to assign members under the roles of Member and Administrator.
6. Click Send invitations.

Inviting members to a Canva for Work team

With a Canva for Work (paid) team you can invite an unlimited number of members to join. The workspace enables a collaborative experience without straying from your team’s standard style with the helpful Brand Kit feature. If you’d like to upgrade to a Canva for Work team, check out this article.

Resending invitations to team members

Sometimes members may not receive their invitations. Rest assured you can resend an invite to make sure a member is able to join your team.

To resend an invite:

1. Open the Team members tab in your homepage.
2. Under the Team members list, click on the dropdown arrow next to the concerned user’s email.
3. Select Cancel invitation. A red Cancelled prompt will verify that you’ve successfully cancelled the invite.
4. Refresh the page and invite the member again.

Paying for additional team members

Have a new recruit? Make sure they’re up to speed on your group’s important projects. Add them to your Canva for Work team, but note that subscription charges will apply as it depends on the number of teams and team members you have.

The monthly billing plan’s rate is at $US12.95 per month per team for each member – to be paid every month. The annual plan’s rate is at $US119.40 per year per team for each team member – to be paid once a year.
