Canva, used by more than 1.8 million people every month, unveiled a new version of its platform called Canva Create back in April. It’s a platform relied on not just by hundreds of teams and enterprises around the world, but also by more than 70 million students and teachers as a visual communication tool. Here are five standout features from the newly introduced Canva Create.

(1) A completely redesigned Canva experience
With a renewed focus on each individual user’s design creation process, Canva has overhauled the entire Canva experience. Starting in August, a new homepage and design editing experience will roll out, aimed at boosting productivity across workflows, designs, and teams. Along with a redesigned homepage, new shortcuts will make it easier than ever to create designs. With more workspace than the previous version, the new layout gives users extra room to work as they design.

(2) Courses, built to become your go-to learning workflow
Canva has introduced Courses, a new way to easily create and share learning and development training — whether that’s onboarding new hires, sharing company updates, or upskilling team members and students. Courses can be built directly inside Canva, and existing Canva designs can be turned into learning materials. The feature reportedly supports a range of formats, including presentations, whiteboards, documents, and videos.
