Canva designs (connected)

Introduction

The connected Canva integration imports designs straight from your Canva account: no exporting, no re-uploading. Every page of the design becomes its own slide, and InfoBox re-imports the design on a schedule, so edits made in Canva reach your screens automatically. It's available to every organization.

How it works

The key facts:

• InfoBox imports an exported copy of each page, so content keeps playing on screens even if the Canva connection is later removed.
• Unlike Google Slides, you choose which pages to import: each selected page becomes its own slide. Pages hidden in Canva are imported as hidden slides.
• The imported slides form a managed group on the screen or playlist, marked Synced from Canva.
• The Canva connection is organization-wide. Admins manage it on the Addons page (sidebar → Addons).
• Canva import is available on Pro screens and in playlists.

Step 1: Connect your Canva account

Two places to connect:

• Addons page (admins): click Addons in the sidebar, find the Canva card, and click Connect Canva account.
• While adding content: on a Pro screen or in a playlist, click Add new slide, open the Integrations category, pick Canva, and connect from there.
• Either way, you're sent to Canva's sign-in and back to InfoBox once you approve access. The pill on the Canva card shows Connected when the link is active.

Step 2: Import a design

On the screen or playlist where you want the design:

• Click Add new slide and open the Integrations category.
• Pick Canva and find your design with the search box. Each design shows its page count.
• Choose which pages to import with the checkboxes, or Select all pages. The counter shows how many are selected.
• Click Import selected pages. Each selected page becomes its own slide.
• Publish as usual once the slides are in.

Keeping content in sync

Imported designs update in two ways:

• Automatically: InfoBox re-imports the design on an interval, 60 minutes by default and 5 minutes at minimum, up to 24 hours. Change it in the slide group's sync settings in the editor, or in the Auto sync column on the Addons page.
• Manually: click Sync on the slide group in the editor, or Sync now on the Addons page, to pull the latest version immediately.
• Each run's result shows in the Sync status column: Success, No changes, or Error.
• Open in Canva on the Addons page opens the design in Canva in a new tab for editing.

Scheduling and duplicating

The group behaves as a unit where it makes sense:

• Click Schedule on the group card to schedule every page at once.
• In select mode, ticking the group selects all its pages for hide, show, schedule, or delete.
• Duplicating a Canva slide keeps its link to the design, so both copies keep syncing.

Unlinking and disconnecting

Three levels of removal:

• Remove one design: on the Addons page, click Remove on the design's row. Its managed slides are deleted from the screen.
• Disconnect the Canva account: click Disconnect on the Canva card. Slides already on screens remain but no longer receive updates.
• Reconnect later: click Connect Canva account again. Linked designs can sync again.

Summary

Connect once, pick the pages to import, and InfoBox keeps the design in sync: every 60 minutes by default, or instantly with Sync. Disconnecting keeps the slides on screens but stops updates. Prefer this over exporting files whenever the design lives in Canva.
