Reminder: Use a shared email address (e.g. UGE, county, or departmental) for your Canva account rather than a personal email address. This helps protect your account and ensures continuity.

How to update your account name

  1. Go to Canva Website and Login to your account
  2. In the upper right hand corner, click on the gear icon (seen below), this will open your account settings page
