Can we find and replace in Canva?

Yes, you can use the “find and replace” feature in Canva to quickly and easily replace specific words or phrases throughout your design.

Here are the steps to follow:

Open the Canva design you want to edit.
Click on the “Text” tab on the left-hand side of the screen to view all the text elements in your design.
Select the text element that you want to edit.
Click on the “Find and replace” icon in the top toolbar, which looks like a magnifying glass with a pencil.
In the “Find” field, enter the word or phrase you want to replace.
In the “Replace with” field, enter the new word or phrase you want to use.
Click the “Replace” button to replace the first instance of the word or phrase, or click “Replace all” to replace all instances of the word or phrase throughout the design.

Note that the “find and replace” feature is only available for text elements in your design, and not for other types of elements such as images or shapes.
