DTL Spotlight

In order to make the most of the available features in our district-wide Canva deployment, we recently migrated to a new Canva structure on September 26th. No content was lost; as part of this migration you’ll be added to one or more new Canva teams, corresponding to the school(s) with which you’re associated (or a “Staff & Admin” team, for staff not based at a school).

Here’s what you need to know:

We have re-labeled our existing district team to “Archive: Jordan School District”. You’ll always be able to access this content by toggling between teams. You’ll also be able to access your new school-based team by toggling in the same way. See this guide for information on switching between teams.

We recommend you copy your content from this Archive team over to your new school-based team. You’ll get the best Canva features in these new teams, and will best able to collaborate in your school team with the students and staff associated with your school. See the guide above for instructions on how to copy Canva content to your new team, but keep in mind you won’t be able to copy content to your new teams until the structure change officially happens.
