How to Review and Restore Older Versions of Canva Designs

I will show you how you can restore the previous version of your document in Canva. Just like Google Docs or Microsoft Word, Canva saves multiple versions of your document. It allows you to go back in time and look at that version, and then you can restore that version of the document or your design.

Overview: Review and Restore Older Versions of Canva Designs

Open your design in Canva, go to File, and click Version history. This is where you can see changes that have been made to the document. You can scroll and see the time the design was saved.

You can find the version of the document that you want to restore. Click any entry and Canva will show a preview of the document. When you're ready, click Restore this version.

For a detailed walkthrough, see this guide to reviewing and restoring older Canva designs.
