One of the most consistent pieces of feedback I hear from teams using Canva is that the organization features, as good as they are for individual users, just aren’t built for shared ownership. Setting up a folder structure that everyone can follow is one thing. Making sure permissions are set correctly so people can actually see and access what they’re supposed to is another. And when someone leaves the team or changes roles, things get messy fast.
Canva’s existing Projects and folder system works well once you understand it (and I’ve spent a lot of time helping people get there). But it was designed with individual ownership in mind, and teams have been working around that limitation ever since.
Team Spaces is what changes that.
Canva is introducing Team Spaces as a new way for teams to store, find, and manage shared content inside Canva, and I’ll be honest: having had some early insights and tours of what they’re building, I’m genuinely excited about it. This isn’t a small tweak to the existing system. It’s a structural shift that moves shared content into a team-owned space, so access isn’t tied to any one person and there’s a clear, stable home for shared work that doesn’t depend on permissions being set up perfectly by the right individual.
The feature is heading into beta testing in June and July 2026, and Canva is currently accepting registrations of interest from users who want to help shape it.
What Team Spaces Actually Does
Right now, shared designs and assets in Canva live inside individual accounts. You can share them, set permissions, and invite people in, but the underlying ownership stays with whoever created or holds the content. For teams, this creates a recurring set of problems: access tied to one person’s account, no single consistent folder structure, and version confusion that builds up over time.
Team Spaces moves content into a space that belongs to the team rather than the individual. It’s accessible directly from the left-hand navigation, includes additional permission levels for more granular control over who can edit or move content, and treats team content as genuinely team-owned. When someone leaves, the work stays. When someone new joins, they’re working from the same shared structure as everyone else.
It won’t automatically organize a messy Canva account, and it won’t replace the need for clear expectations about how shared content should be structured. But it gives teams the right foundation to work from, which is something that hasn’t really existed in Canva until now.
Who Team Spaces Is For
Team Spaces will be available on Canva’s team-based plans, including Canva Business and Canva Enterprise, and it’s designed for teams of any size. If more than one person is creating, editing, or managing designs together in Canva, this feature is relevant to you.
It isn’t available on a regular Canva Pro account, which is designed for individual use.
Why the Beta Matters, Especially for Smaller Teams
Canva already has larger organizations lined up to participate in the beta. What they’re specifically looking for now is input from smaller teams, particularly those with fewer than five users, because the experience of a small team working in Canva looks very different from a large organization, and that perspective matters for getting this right.
If you’re on a small team and have felt the friction of trying to collaborate in Canva using tools that weren’t quite built for it, this is a genuinely useful moment to have your experience heard. Beta feedback shapes how features develop, and the more variety of team sizes and workflows Canva hears from, the better the end result will be for everyone.
I’ll be covering Team Spaces in depth as it rolls out, including tutorials on how to set it up, how to think about structuring your spaces, and how to approach migrating existing shared content.
If you’re on a Canva Business or Team plan and would like to register your interest in the beta, you can do that here. Filling in the form doesn’t guarantee a spot (Canva will be in touch if you’re a suitable match), but if you’re a small team especially, your input would be valuable.
Common Questions About Canva Team Spaces
What is Canva Team Spaces?
Canva Team Spaces is a new feature that gives teams a shared, team-owned space to store, find, and manage content in Canva. Unlike the existing Projects system, which ties content ownership to individual accounts, Team Spaces makes content accessible to the whole team regardless of who created it.
How is Canva Team Spaces different from Canva Projects?
Canva Projects are owned by individual users and shared outward through permissions. Team Spaces moves ownership to the team itself, so shared content has a stable home that doesn’t depend on any one person’s account or permissions being set up correctly.
What Canva plan do you need for Team Spaces?
Team Spaces will be available on Canva’s team-based plans, including Canva Business and Canva Enterprise. It is not available on Canva Pro, which is designed for individual users.

Canva Team Spaces is currently heading into beta testing in June and July 2026. A broader launch date has not been announced yet.
How do I sign up for the Canva Team Spaces beta?
Canva is accepting registrations of interest here from users on Business or Team plans. Note that registering doesn’t guarantee a spot, but Canva will be in touch if you’re a suitable match.
Is Canva Team Spaces good for small teams?
Yes, Canva is specifically looking for input from smaller teams with fewer than five users during the beta period, as small team workflows differ significantly from large organizations.
