How Do I Select a Layer in Canva?

Last updated on January 5, 2023 @ 8:09 am

There is one simple way that you can select a layer in Canva. That is to click on the layer that you want to select in your canvas in the Canva editor. This will highlight the layer in the editor so that you can see which one it is.

 

PRO TIP: If you are not careful when selecting a layer in Canva, you may inadvertently select the wrong layer and end up making changes to the wrong part of your design. Be sure to carefully select the layer you want to edit before making any changes.

Layers in Canva work differently than other design tools. Here, each element is considered a layer. You can also opt to group elements together to merge them into one layer. To do this, simply select the elements that you want to group together.

Then, right-click on them and select “Group” from the options.

NOTE: You can also use the keyboard shortcut “Ctrl+G” to do this.

Now, you have selected a layer containing the two elements.
