Hello. Let's talk about workspaces. What is workspace? It is the area around your document  that kind of helps you build it. Okay? It's the space that you do your work in.

The weird thing about Canva, it took me a little while  to realize and kind of help me when I did figure it out. That's why I'm sharing with you, is that when you start  with, uh, Instagram post, it looks like this,  but if I switch to a document, it looks different. Well, there's H one and H two. I can't find that in Canva. How do I turn it on? You can't.

I made this other whiteboard document here. What are all the dots? This one here has video editing. Canva is a huge, big tool that can do lots  of different things and the workspaces change. Let me show you a few of the different workspaces just  so you get a sense and don't get lost  like I did when I got started. Alright?

We're all quite used to now the uh,  social post view, everything looks like this. Let's open up a few different other ones. So let's go back to the home screens. Create a new design and basically they're grouped over here. You can kind of see these icons, docs, whiteboards,  presentations, et cetera. These all have their own workspaces.

Some of them similar, some of them quite different. Let's look at say docs. We'll create a doc in this um, course. Okay? Now a doc is basically just a Word document. It has a very different view.

Can you see this one versus this one? Lots of the elements are the same. Templates, brands, they're all still there. But if I close these both down,  what you'll notice is there's this menu along the top here. Gives you kind of more like a word doc style  kind of, uh, tools. Same over here.

It's all very word dockey. Close it down, you scroll it, breaks it into pages. Let's have a look at another one. Let's look at something that's quite different. Create new design. We'll do whiteboards as well.

Let's grab this one is whiteboards are quite different. Look at that. So different. Okay, I'm gonna close this down. It has all these dots and guess what? It has like an infinity kind of background.

You can create things forever on this document  and no menu along the top. Telling you what kind of words to use, you know, and styles  and stuff like the word doc. Let's do one more of video one,  'cause that has a very different, uh, look as well. Let's go down to videos. Grab video. And what you'll notice is you end up with different stuff.

You've got like a little timeline  down here instead of pages. And if I add a video, let me find a video. Uh, this one you end up with different tools. You got like, uh, editing tool. Okay? So the reason I show you this is  that when I first started kind of using Canva, I'd be like,  why is their version so different from mine?

Why do I have that button? Why do I have this extra button? It was because there are lots  of different formats here in Canva. I wanna give you a sense of this. Early on. I didn't want to be the first boring video,  but I feel like it's interesting to know, important to know.

There's actually different ways. Like the interesting thing is  that if I'm in this word doc style here, okay,  they call litter doc inside of Canva. I can't get all that video editing stuff, okay? It's a different format. Okay? So what ends up happening is if you end up in the wrong  thing, you're like, you start designing in this whiteboard  mode that goes on forever and you want  some of the video stuff.

You have to select copy into a different document. You can't like change your workspace. Can't say, all right, enable video  Features doesn't work like that. Alright? So that was kind of a revelation  for me when I was getting started with Canva. Their actual workspaces are quite different.

Um, sometimes you can copy stuff between the two  and sometimes you can't. Like this stuff here that we've created, if I try  and grab all of that as a group  and I copy it, for some reason the doc  won't allow me to paste that. I can bring in the image separately, the text separately. Some things copy, some things don't,  but the workspace changes quite a bit. The other part of the workspace  that changes is this side here. Can you see I'm in this.

This is the one we started at. Okay? So I've got design elements, text brand uploads,  draw projects and apps. These things are only here  because I've used them in the past. You won't have any of these. Basically.

We'll look at apps later on when I add an app, okay? Or go and find one that I want to use. It just puts it over there  for easy access and you can't remove them. I try to clear them out before I started the course  so we don't freak anybody out but didn't work. So there you go. See this line here?

That line is like stuff that's normally part of this. You'll have that. Anything that's below this is unique stuff  that you've used and we'll explore it later on. But let's look, see that line there? Anything above that. If I go to my dock version,  can you see there's that line there.

It got rid of you can't do drawing  inside of the dock. So all these tiles on this left hand side are unique  for the workspace as well. Can you see? I'm in this one. Look what else was new. I think this one is very similar.

The video one, very similar. Again, you'll find different tiles, different workspaces  for the different kinds of projects you'll be creating. One last, last thing get on with it in is if I go back  to home and I create a new design, um,  down the bottom here it says more, you just get a sense  of the scale of things that you can create in Canva. So let's go to, I don't know, personal event planning. Just look at how many kind of things they've thought of. Do you need a T-shirt?

You can do it inside Canva, design it  and then print it from Canva's. Amazing. Do you need to create a name tag,  swing tag for somebody? They've got a workspace and all the tools that you need  to make that happen and a bunch of templates. It's very cool. Anyway, I wanted to share that  because the different workspaces freaked me out a little bit  at the beginning until I realized, ah,  they're all kind of different.

See, there's little icons here. They all do something quite different. So they move Canva around  and make it do different stuff and you can't change it. You can't just say, all right, I'm in presentation mode. Switch it to video mode. You can copy and paste from it, kind of,  but you can't actually just switch up the workspace  to be, give me all those tools.

Alright, they get it Dan. Alright, that is it. I will leave you with that. I hope that was helpful. A bit of a revelation. Okay, one last thing  before we go is if I hit the strappy lines here.

Okay, brings up this. This is kind of like your universal finder allows you  to create new documents, work on recent documents. This changes. You can add favorites to it,  but you can close it down as well. So if you click on this instead of file, okay,  A file gives you more this document settings. If you go to this, gives you more kind  of canvas settings back to this home kind of document,  but kind of takes up a chunk of space.

You can close it down as well. There you go. That is it. I will see you in the next video.
