Filter and sort your designs on the homepage
It’s now easier to find your work from your homepage. The new dedicated Recents page gives you a full view of your recently opened designs and Brand Templates, with filters and sorting to help you quickly find the content you need. Whether it’s something you created or a favorite Brand Template, it’s easier to find in one place.
Filter your Recent content
Users now get a dedicated Recents page where they can browse their recent designs and Brand Templates. Folders aren’t shown in Recents and can still be found in Projects.
There are two ways to filter your content: from the homepage or the Recent page.
- From the homepage, select More, go to Projects, then select Recents. Alternatively, under Continue designing, select See all.
- Under type, you choose what type of content to show:
- Any type (default) - see all content types
- Designs - see only design files
- Brand templates - see only brand templates
- Folders - see only folders
- Under Owner, you can browse different collaborators and filter by their content:
- Any owner (default) - see all content you have access to
- You - see only content you own
- Shared with you - see only content others have shared with you
You can change your view to (View as List) or (View as Grid)
Sort your Projects
- From the homepage, select More, go to Projects,
- In the All projects section, select the Sort By icon.
- Choose how you want to sort your content:
- Last activity (default) - shows items based on when you last worked on them
- A-Z - sorts alphabetically from A to Z
- Z-A - sorts alphabetically from Z to A
Fix filter and sorting issues
My filters reset when I come back to Canva
That’s normal. Filters don’t stick around after you leave. This helps you see all your recent designs when you return.
Things feel a bit slow after applying filters
Using filters means Canva is loading more specific data, which might take a little longer.
Some of my designs aren’t showing in A–Z sort
Alphabetical sorting only applies to your 200 most recently opened designs. If you haven’t opened something in a while, it might not appear here.
I can’t use filters when I’m offline
Filtering and sorting only work when you’re connected to the internet. You’ll see them again when you’re back online.
