  2. Choose the connected publishing channels and tailor each caption and destination.

  3. Preview the creative for each channel, complete approval, and schedule.

Keep in mind: Canva supplies the creative; the selected social channel determines publishing requirements.

GUIDE 02

Adapt one campaign for several channels

  1. Prepare separate creative sizes for feed posts and vertical video or Story destinations.

  2. Attach the appropriate version to each channel and check text placement and cropping.

  3. Review platform-specific titles, links, and tags before scheduling the campaign.
