Plan your content calendar and auto-post to Skool, Circle, or Mighty Networks
Resource sharing is at the heart of active and engaged communities. When members recommend tools or content that have helped them, it not only provides practical value but also builds a culture of generosity and support. This kind of knowledge exchange encourages participation from members at all experience levels, as everyone has something valuable to contribute.
By prompting members to explain why they find a resource helpful, you foster more meaningful conversations. These discussions go beyond simple links and help others understand real-world applications. This approach also makes it easier for lurkers or less active members to jump in and share, knowing their input is both welcome and useful.

Start by posting a Recommend a Resource template in your group or channel. Encourage members to not only share their favorite Canva-related resource but also explain how it has helped them. Pin resource threads, highlight standout contributions, or create themed days to keep the momentum going. Use these templates regularly to create a steady stream of fresh, actionable tips for your community.
For all platforms, keep your resource prompts concise and actionable. Use hashtags like #CanvaResource or #DesignFind to make threads easy to search. On forums, consider sticky threads. In chats or groups, use threads or reply chains to keep resources organized.
Consider the needs and skill levels of your community. If your members are seeking workflow enhancements or automation, highlighting specific Canva Apps (like Background Remover or Brand Kit integrations) can be highly valuable. For those looking for inspiration or faster creation, design templates such as social media kits or infographics are ideal. You can even create themed series—one week for plugins, another for templates—to keep recommendations fresh and relevant.
When recommending resources, be mindful of feature availability. Clearly indicate if a template or element requires Canva Pro, and where possible, provide alternatives for free users. Consider creating a tag system (e.g., #ProOnly, #FreeAccess) in your posts, and explain how members can check their own access. This helps prevent frustration and includes all users in the conversation.
Highlight features such as shared folders, team templates, and real-time commenting. Recommend resources that showcase how to set up brand kits, lock design elements, or manage permissions for team projects. Encourage members to use 'Team Templates' to standardize designs across their group and share case studies of successful team collaborations within Canva.
Focus on tools and templates specifically designed to solve these challenges, such as Canva’s Font Combinations tool or brand kit templates. Share resources about typography best practices, or curated template packs that maintain consistent branding. Invite community members to share their own solutions and experiences with these tools to foster collaborative learning.
A mix can be beneficial. While in-platform content ensures resources are directly actionable within Canva, external tutorials (like specialized YouTube walkthroughs or blog guides) can provide deeper dives on complex features—like animation or advanced photo editing. Always preview external resources for accuracy and relevance, and encourage members to contribute their favorite off-platform guides.
Stay updated with Canva's release notes and beta announcements. When new features launch (e.g., Magic Write, AI image generation, or new export formats), create resource posts that explain the feature, link to official guides, and offer example use cases or templates. Invite early adopters in the community to share their own tips, fostering excitement and rapid adoption.
