Here's how to restore a deleted design in Canva

  1. Open the Main Menu

    Start by clicking the three-line menu icon, also known as the hamburger menu, located in the top-left corner of the Canva homepage. This action will expand the navigation sidebar.

  2. Navigate to Trash

    Once the sidebar is open, scroll down until you find the "Trash" option. Click on it to access the folder containing all your recently deleted designs.

  3. Access Design Options

    In the Trash folder, locate the specific design you wish to restore. Hover your mouse cursor over the design, and a three-dot "More options" icon will appear. Click this icon.

  4. Restore the Design

    A small context menu will appear after clicking the three-dot icon. Select the "Restore" option from this menu. The design will then be moved out of the Trash folder.

  5. Verify Restoration

    After clicking restore, the design will disappear from the Trash folder. A confirmation message, such as "Moved to Your projects," may briefly appear, indicating successful restoration.
