How Do I Change My Timeline on Canva?

Are you tired of the default timeline design on Canva? Do you want to customize it to better suit your needs? Well, you're in luck! In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of changing your timeline on Canva using simple HTML styling elements.

Step 1: Create a New Design

Firstly, open Canva and create a new design by clicking on the "Create a design" button. Choose the appropriate dimensions for your timeline and click on it to start editing.

Step 2: Access the Text Tool

Once you are in the editing interface, locate the toolbar on the left-hand side. Look for the "Text" tool and click on it to access various text options.

Step 3: Add Text Elements

To change your timeline, you need to add text elements that will serve as your headings, subheadings, and content. Click anywhere on your canvas to insert a text box.

  • Add Headings: Use bold text to make your headings stand out. To do this, wrap your heading text within tags.
  • Add Subheadings: Use underlined text to differentiate subheadings from the main headings. Wrap your subheading text within tags.
  • Create Content: Write informative content for each section of your timeline using regular text (no styling tags required).

Step 4: Arrange Your Elements

To make your timeline visually engaging, arrange your text elements in a logical order. Use headings for major events and subheadings for smaller milestones. Ensure that each section has clear content that describes the event or milestone.

Step 5: Customize Styling

To further enhance your timeline, you can customize the styling of your text elements. Canva provides various options to change the font, size, color, and more.

Change Font:

You can change the font of your text by selecting it and using the font options in the toolbar. Experiment with different fonts to find one that suits your timeline's theme.

Adjust Text Size:

If you want to emphasize certain elements, you can adjust their text size. Highlight the text you want to modify and use the size options in the toolbar to increase or decrease its size.

Apply Colors:

To make your timeline visually appealing, apply colors to your text elements. Select the desired element and use the color options in the toolbar to choose a color that complements your design.

Step 6: Save and Share

Once you are satisfied with your customized timeline, save your design by clicking on the "Download" button. You can download it as an image or a PDF file depending on your requirements.

You can also share your timeline directly from Canva using various social media platforms or by generating a shareable link.

Congratulations! You have successfully changed your timeline on Canva using HTML styling elements. Now you have a visually engaging timeline that stands out from the rest!
