What the skill teaches
Canva's own skill that sets the procedure for changing an existing Canva design through the Canva MCP server, and which the other Canva editing skills build on. The agent opens an editing transaction, shows the user the page thumbnails, batches its operations, and commits only after the user approves; otherwise it cancels the draft. Supported changes include replacing or finding and replacing text, text formatting, swapping, inserting or deleting images and videos, moving and resizing elements, and renaming the design. The skill also lists what cannot be done this way, such as changing font family, adding text boxes or reordering pages.
Capabilities
- Replace or find-and-replace text in a Canva design
- Change text size, weight, style, colour and alignment
- Replace, insert or delete images and videos
- Move and resize elements, and rename the design
- Commit edits only after user approval
