Step-by-step setup (paths from Canva Help)

Step 1. Create a Brand Kit. Go to Brand → Create new Brand Kit and add logos, colors, fonts and guidelines. Make one kit per property brand if needed.

Step 2. Build a property template pack: flyer, listing post, story, email header and signage.

Step 3. For a new property, duplicate the pack and swap in name, photos and amenities. Use Magic Write for the first-draft copy and Background Remover on photos.

Step 4. Resize with Resize → Copy & resize for each channel.

Step 5. Edit together in real time instead of sending files back and forth.

Copy-paste prompt

Write marketing copy for a new property: 1 headline, 3 amenity bullets, a 40-word listing blurb, and 3 social captions. Details: {{property, location, amenities, rent range}}.
